Chinook Jargon[edit]
Adjective[edit]
pchix̣
Usage notes[edit]
In common with other local indigenous languages, including those of the Chinookan family, Chinuk Wawa recognizes fewer distinctions in the blue-green portion of the spectrum than English. 'kusax̣-pchix̣' (sky-pchix̣) 'blue" and 'tipsu-pchix̣' (grass-pchix̣) "green" have recently been adopted by the Confederated Tribes of Grande Ronde language program to bring the Chinuk Wawa terminology more in line with English.
