In our table of transcriptions, we quote the
simplest form of the word that we find in the Milluk texts in order to
represent Annie Miner Peterson’s pronunciation of this word. It is a close match with what Lolly says, if
one takes into account the common k-q sound correspondence and the rare sound
correspondence of s-ts. For another
example of the rare correspondence of s-ts see the word meaning ‘thick fir bark’,
‘fir tree’, in the interview segment “Fir Tree, Bark”. In the case of the word
here meaning ‘grandfather’, the consonant [ t ] seems to have left a trace in
the form of a barely detectable glottal stop at the beginning of Lolly’s
version of this word. See also the interview
segment “He bit (bite)” for another variation of the s-ts sound
correspondence.
