Instant Phonetic Englishization: Lolly pronounces this word in the same way that she pronounces the Milluk word meaning ‘sun’.  Listen to the way that she say ‘uh’, phonetically [ ʔʌʰ ], where the intonation suggests that she thought that something was wrong.  Annie's version of the word begins with a voiced uvular consonant, like quite a few other words where Lolly’s version of a word has a voiced velar stop, not so far back in the throat.
