2 "My husband's sister's child" was given as kwvch'ckw-C, but this is almost certainly merely the plural in -k u of kwvch'c-C and should thus be understood as "my brother's children (woman speaking), my husband's sister's children." See F. Boas, Tsimshian, 44 (" Handbook of American Indian Languages," Bulletin 40, Bureau of American Ethnology, 1911).
