meaning of "Petlushkwohap"?

[edit]

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)[reply]

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