_Plenty_ haya aya. _No_ wake wik. _Water_ chuck tchaak. _Good_ closh hooleish. _Bad_ peshak peishakeis. _Man_ tillicham tchuckoop. _Woman_ cloochamen tlootsemin. _Child_ tanass tannassis. _Now_ clahowiah tlahowieh. _Come_ sacko tchooqua. _Slave_ mischemas mischemas. _What are you doing?_ ekta mammok akoots-ka-mamok. _What are you saying?_ ekta-wawa au-kaak-wawa. . _Let me see_ nannanitch nannanitch. _Sun_ ootlach opeth. _Sky_ saya sieya. _Fruit_ camas chamas. _To sell_ makok makok. _Understand_ commatax commatax. For the particular dialect spoken by another Tsihaili tribe, and placed by Dr. Scouler in the present section, we have no vocabulary, viz.: the Commagsheak in the northern part of the Gulf of Georgia. ISOLATED (_or nearly Isolated_) TSIHAILI.(?) _The Nsietshawuss._--Occupants of the sea-coasts to the south of the Columbia. Numbers in 1840 about 700. Conterminous with the Tshinúks, on the north, the Jakon on the south, and the Tlatskanai on the east.--_Appearance and manners of the Tshinúks._ _Synonym._--Killamuk. The elements of doubt denoted by the note of interrogation(?) consist in the discrepancy between the evidence of the Killamuk language, and the evidence of the Killamuk physiognomy; the former being Tsihaili, the latter Tshinúk. Hence, whilst Mr. Hales makes them the former, Dr. Scouler classes them with the latter. Now comes a small family, falling into no minor divisions, and spread over an area of but third-rate magnitude. THE KÚTANIS (KITUNAHA). _Synonym._--Flat-bows. _Locality._--Banks of the Kútani River, one of the feeders of the Columbia. _Conterminous._--with the Blackfoots, Ponderay, Salish, Shushwap, and Carrier Athabaskans. The Kútanis are described by Simpson as undersized, irregularly fed, poor, and squalid; the women being plainer than the men. Irregularly fed upon fish and venison, they dig up the kammas and mash it into a pulp. This, in times of unusual scarcity, they flavour with a sort of moss or lichen collected from the trees. On the other hand they are sharp-sighted in making bargains, prudent enough to be the best economisers in their district of the fur-animals, steady in their fidelity to the whites, and so brave, under attacks, as to hold their own against the powerful Blackfoots of the eastern side of the Rocky Mountains.
