Stub

[edit]

I'm not sure that this is a stub, although it could perhaps use more information. There might not be anything more to say about this glacier. Alázhlis (talk) 21:03, 5 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

word for whale

[edit]

"Kwénis, which means "whale" immediately struck me as "quanice" the usual Chinook Jargon rendering of the word in that argot for "whale"......I'm not sure of its origins, could be Nooktan/Southern Wakashan but if it's from the Chehalis language, as many CJ words are, could be that the Comox word was similar; but also CJ words are now pervasive in some local languages and not recognized as such; just a note, no bearing on the article.....Skookum1 (talk) 10:04, 27 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
