"From the First Annual Report of the Bureau of Ethnology, Smithsonian Institution"

Sudatories of the
other kind are found near every Indian lodge, and consist of a few
willow-rods stuck into the ground, both ends being bent over. The
process gone through while sweating is the same in both kinds of
lodges, with the only difference as to time. The ceremonies mentioned
4-13. all refer to sweating in the mourners' sweat-lodges. The
sudatories of the Oregonians have no analogy with the _estufas_ of
the Pueblo Indians of New Mexico, as far as their construction is
concerned.
586, 1. l[/a]pa sp[^u]'klish, two sweat-lodges, stands for two _kinds_ of
sweat-lodges.
586, 5. shash[/a]moks=l[/o]latko forms _one_ compound word: one who,
or: those who have lost relatives by death; cf. pt[/i]sh=l[^u]lsh,
pg[/i]sh=l[^u]lsh; hishu[/a]kga pt[/i]sh=l[/u]latk, male orphan whose
father has died. In the same manner, [k=][)e]lek[/a]tko stands here as a
participle referring simultaneously to h[/i]shuaksh and to sn[/a]wedsh
w[/e]nuitk, and can be rendered by "_bereaved_". Shash[/a]moks, distr.
form of sh[/a]-amoks, is often pronounced shesh[/a]maks. T[/u]mi etc.
