Instant Phonetic Englishization:  Lolly’s heavy pronunciations of the initial consonant of the word make the word just like the English name ‘John’.  Her ejective pronunciations are a light one, then a medium one. 

This word does not occur in the Milluk texts or in Jacobs slip-file dictionary, nor apparently anywhere else in Jacobs work with Mrs. Peterson.
