Holler, Shout
In our table of transcriptions here, there is not a perfect match between what Lolly says and what Annie says in the Milluk texts. However, in another interview segment, from later in the interview, there actually is a perfect match for what Annie says which we have in our table of transcriptions here. There, Swadesh tries to get Lolly to say a Milluk word meaning ‘ice’ for the second time in the interview. He fails at that again, but Lolly says [ kəʔal·a ] “is holler”.
Instant Phonetic Englishization: k!ahl_lah.
Excellent Long L: In this interview segment, Lolly gives us a really clear example of a Long L [ lˑ ].
In the Milluk texts, this word is translated as ‘she hallooed, ‘he was hallooing’, ‘it was hallooing’, ‘it called out’, and ‘they hallooed’.
