Instant Phonetic Englishization:  ch!ee_h, for Lolly’s first time saying the word, with its word-inital light pronunciation of an ejective and its word-final rather light aspiration.  In the case of Lolly’s second time saying the word, the aspiration is gone because she goes right on to saying something in English, so that the Milluk word meaning ‘long’ is not at the end of a phonetic phrase.
