Gun, Large Bow
Instant Phonetic Englishization: Like koo_beel, for Lolly’s uniquely Coos Bay Milluk version of the word. Lolly’s more shared version of the word is more like goo_gweel, while Annie’s version of the word has dotted, back Gs which are made farther back in the throat.
The K [ k ] at the beginning of Lolly’s first time saying this word is not decidedly aspirated, so it would not seem to count as / k / in phonemic terms. Word-initial voiceless stop consonants in Milluk are generally decidedly aspirated. Another Milluk word that has an evident sound correspondence involving b-gw is the Milluk word meaning ‘cradle’ which Lolly says in the interview segment "Cradle" on this website. There too, we find ourselves dealing at the margins with [ k ], where otherwise there is [ g ] and also a sound correspondence with [ b ].
