Oops, I meant to write 4-5 syllable-final consonants for Nuuchahnulth. They’re quite impressive clusters but I don’t think they’re appendices because they occur in word-medial syllables, and arguably in foot-medial syllables too. OTOH its obligatory syllab onsets are restricted to a single consonant

Well maybe just a small areal effect; it’s not widely shared. The other surrounding related and unrelated languages tend to have vowel-headed syllables. Much further south, Nuuchahnulth (a distant relative of Oowekyala) allows 4-5 syllable-consonants but every syllable has a vowel, and some …

Salmon:
The Halkomelem called Sockeye Salmon sθə́qəy̓ meaning "red fish". It was anglicized to suk-keh leading to sockeye. The Chinook salmon were called Sa-cin by the Nuuchahnulth and K'with'thet by the Salish.

Sockeye salmon swimming underwater in a clear river. The fish in the foreground has a bright red body with a greenish head and a slightly open mouth, showing small teeth. Its fins are extended as it moves forward over a rocky riverbed. Other salmon are visible behind it, partially obscured. The water is blue-green with light filtering from the surface above.

The Nuu-chah-nulth, meaning "all along the mountains and sea," are an Indigenous people of the Pacific Northwest, primarily residing on the west coast of Vancouver Island in Canada. Their history is rich with traditions, cultural practices, and interactions with European settlers, impacting their way of life and cultural identity. The Nuu-chah-nulth lived in villages along a 200-mile coastline, with their traditional territories stretching from the coastal mountains to the Pacific Ocean. They were skilled hunters, fishers, and whalers, relying on the ocean for sustenance and trade. They had a rich cultural life, including ceremonial feasts, potlatches (ceremonial distributions of wealth), and skilled woodworking, including totem poles, homes, and canoes. Their social organization was centered around extended families led by hereditary chiefs. Captain James Cook was the first European to encounter Nuu-chah-nulth villagers in 1778. The Nuu-chah-nulth traded sea otter furs with European: goods like metal tools and guns. The fur trade led to competition among Nuu-chah-nulth groups and the introduction of diseases, causing a significant population decline.
