meaning of "Petlushkwohap"?

I just created a stub article for Petlushkwohap Mountain, which is near Lytton and is the second-highest in the Lillooet Ranges. BC Names has nothing on its name-origin....I've wondered if it might be in the local variety of Chinook Jargon, as "kwohap" may be the same as a word I recall as "thlwop" meaning a hole, "tlush" seems to be kloshe/kloosh, often rendered tloosh, meaning "good", and "pe" I know is a local word, including in St'at'imcets, not sure about Nlakapamuctsin, meaning "and", or as an emphatic. Why it would mean "a really good hole" maybe a reference to it being surrounding by precipitous valleys, or some unknown feature......or it could be from Nlakapamuctsin, so thought I'd ask here....if anyone has a reference guide to Nlaka'pamux geographic names and can provide the answer, please add it to that article.Skookum1 (talk) 11:17, 3 August 2013 (UTC)

Maybe it's related to Nɬeʔkepmxcín péɬuskʷu 'lake'? Lukewarm Cabbage (talk) 04:36, 13 July 2024 (UTC)

Use in Werker & Tees (1984/2002)

Hello all! I am new to editing Wikipedia, so I didn't want to make any changes myself. However, I found this article through research into infant speech/phonological development. The Thompson language was used in Janet Werker's 1984 study titled "Cross-language speech perception: Evidence for perceptual reorganization during the first year of life". I have a few links to it - https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0163638302000930 https://legacy.cs.indiana.edu/~port/teach/641/Werker.Tees.crosslg.sp.perceptn.1984.pdf I also was shown an excerpt from a documentary of this topic in class, but I can't find the original documentary. Interested in feedback - does anyone else think this would be an interesting addition to the article? Thanks! Entitycat (talk) 18:51, 31 March 2025 (UTC)
