Instant Phonetic Englishization:  galla.  Like the English word ‘gal’, for the first syllable of Lolly’s heavy pronunciation of the word, the one she says first., then twice again.   

In the Coos Bay Milluk that we hear from Lolly Metcalf, the dividing line is not always clear between what we call ‘heavy pronunciations’ of consonants which Annie Miner Peterson pronounced as ejectives and the robust ejective pronunciations of them which we often enough hear from Lolly.  See what we say about the Front K [ k̯ʻ ] ejective at the beginning of the Milluk word k’illga ‘child’, in interview segment “Child 1”.
