We give Lolly credit, so to speak, for having
said a Long M [ mˑ ] in this word, even though it is not obviously long in her
two times saying this word. Jacobs is
remarkably consistent in having transcribed a variety of different forms of
this word in the Milluk texts as each having a Long M [ mˑ ]. We see only two times out of several examples
where he did not hear a Long M [ mˑ ] in a form of this word.
