[edit] aboriginal name of Kettle River (Columbia River)

Hoping a linguist familiar with Syilx'tsn and its kin can identify "Ne-hoi-al-pit-kwu" and provide a translation; it's the USGS "alternate" name and I'm guessing it's Sylix'tsn, even though that -kwu ending looks (to my uneducated eyes) more like an Athapaskan-language name, and AFAIK there were no Athapaskans in the area (other than the Stuwix, who weren't on the Kettle). Please add any information ahbout this to the Kettle River (Columbia River) page, and perhaps also provide the proper Syilx'tsn spelling (if "Ne-hoi-al-pit-kwu" is Syilx'tsn) and IPA, plus translation; the same would be nice on all other river and placenames article as you may see fit to share, of course.Skookum1 07:16, 28 April 2007 (UTC)
