When Swadesh says the Milluk word in this
interview segment asking what it is, it is just a false start on the part of
Lolly Metcalf when she says “young, boy”, before she translates the word as
“young man”. By one way of figuring it
though, this word does mean ‘boy’, just not ‘young boy’. The Milluk word that definitely means ‘boy’
is [ dí·ʔlu·tɫʼ ]. It refers to a boy from age 5 or 6 to age
10 or 11. The word in this interview
segment, [ díˑluˑɫ ], refers to a
boy from age 10 or 11 to 17 or 18. These
age-range definitions were given to Melville Jacobs by Annie Miner Peterson.
