Talk:Chumash
From Academic Kids
I noticed that there were 4 or 5 entries referencing the Chumash tribes in SoCal, but they all pointed to the Hebrew word of the same spelling. I started this brief stub(bette?) to differentiate betwixt the 2 and I hope someone more knowledgeable than I on this subject will elaborate.
- If there's no objection, I will move this to Chumash. I've already pointed the redirect here, since not a single link to it was intended to refer to the Torah and I seriously doubt it will come up as often. (A quick disamb block at the top can be put in if someone honestly believes that anyone would link to Chumash to get to the Torah.) --Brion
- Having heard no objection, it is so moved. --Brion 21:13 Sep 27, 2002 (UTC)
[edit]
classification
Even Hokanists no longer accept Chumash as Hokan. The Chumash shared a few words for easily borrowed cultural items, such as shell-bead money, with their Esselen neighbors, and the Esselen were tentatively ID'd as Hokan, but that's hardly a basis for classification. --kwami 09:49, 22 Mar 2005 (UTC)
