C. East of Hull's V., extending nearly to Hammerhorn Mt., but this was
Nomlaki.
[10.6] 8. [vS]ipimA´lno'm, on a creek running from W into
(S-flowing) Eel R.
9. I·'mptí·tAmno'm, at an opening in the range--i·'mp is a
gap. They were across the Eel, on its E side.
10. Pi·lílno'm, beyond (farther E or SE?), at Kumpí·t, "salt
hole," where salt was got, also at Snow Mt. These were Yuki, but
"talked something like" Nomlaki Wintun (who adjoined them, across
the main Coast Range watershed). Their language was about as
different from Yuki as was Huchnom. They were "half Stony Creek"
(along which lived Salt Pomo, then Hill Patwin, then Nomlaki).
11. U·k'í·[)c]no'm (added later by informant), in Williams V.,
"E" of Hull's V.
12. A Yuki group at Twin Rock Cr.--Eben had forgotten their
name.
D. The real Yuki, centering in Round V., and coming N into the foothills
only about as far as Ebley's Flat. To the N were the Onainó'm, Pitch
Indians, Athabascans, who owned Hull V. ("here") and adjoined the
[vS]ipimAlno'm (no. 8).
[10.6] 13. Hákno'm, in Round V., around Agency, in the N side
of the valley.
14. Ukomnó'm, in middle of the valley. They did not own up
into the mountains.
15. At TotimAl, W of Covelo, were a people whose name Eben had
forgotten.
16. At NW end of Round V., another group whose name he could
not recall.
It will be seen that the informant's knowledge was fullest for the part
of Yuki territory S of Round V.
He thought that all the groups mentioned made the Taikomol and Hulk'ilAl
initiations and performances.
