Instant Phonetic Englishization: The back X sound in Milluk is very light,
almost an h, so saying it like hwahl_hwahl is close to what it sounds like.

Listen to the Back X [ x̣ ]
in the Milluk word aXats ‘cry’, in the interview segment “Crying”, which we
write phonetically as [ ʔáx̣ats ], and as [ ˈʔɑχɑts ], in the IPA. In our easy way to type the Back X, we make a
point of writing it as a dotted x, with the dot after the x, but only where
the sound is at the beginning of a word.
We use a capital X elsewhere.
