Instant Phonetic Englishization:  ihln, if we were not right before when we earlier thought that we heard the word ending with an M [ m ]. 



We originally thought that we heard this word as [ ʔɪɬə̆m ].  We might have been right then.  We are a bit frustrated about being absolutely sure, because we only know this word from listening to Lolly Metcalf in this interview segment.  We once thought that we heard the Milluk word [ saʰn ] ‘name’ as [ sam ] and two of us independently had that problem with the Milluk word meaning ‘gall’.
