Breathe
and Breath: In this interview segment, Swadesh asks for a
translation of the English verb ‘breathe’.
In Jacobs’ slip-file dictionary, we see in Jacobs’ handwriting the
Milluk word | há·ɫ | translated as ‘breath’, a noun. So Mrs. Peterson said a Milluk word which is identical
to the syllable that gets repeated in the Milluk word meaning ‘breathe’ that we
hear from Mrs. Metcalf. The repetition
in the verb that Lolly says would seem to be the use of reduplication in Milluk
for repetitive actions, which is certainly applicable to normal breathing.
