`  == K'omoks ==  From what I understand re [``https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Comox_people&curid;=451310&diff;=600575721&oldid;=600571121 this] is that K'omoks is a Li'kwala word and that today's Island group who go by that name now have adopted that as their language.   /q'ómoxws/ I found somewhere, from Kwak'wala or maybe Li'kwala.  I'd always thought it was a form of the Chinook Jargon word for dog kamooks but apparently it's not (dogs were raised for food and wool in former times, so a natural assumption).  But some new-era names like Sts'Ailes (``beating heart``) are inventions, as are also Nuu-chah-nulth and Kwakwaka'wakw and not traditional. Given the resistance to the K'omoks title by the usual suspect, who's a fan of old-era names as in ethnographic texts and doesn't care what the peoples call themselves at all, and considering that that term is only for the Island group, I'm thnking that both language and people should be split between Island and Mainland; and because there are four peoples, the title should be ``peoples``.  `
