Felidae ac Hominidae

Academic Work

The aim of this paper is to discuss two sets of words in Salishan languages. They are, respectively, terms for native cats (the Family Felidae) of British Columbia and the Northwestern U.S. and the set of words glossed variously 'person, Indian, man' (of the Family Hominidae). There is no connection between the two sets of words, so that in effect there are here two separate papers. Transcriptions are normalized throughout the paper for recent material, but left in their original form for older material lacking recent attestation.
