Lhílheqey - 'Mt. Cheam,' name of a woman in a story who was the wife of Mt. Baker and had three daughters and a dog; they quarrelled and she left him to come to the banks of the Fraser River with her daughters and her dog; all were transformed into mountains; literally 'glacier', possibly meaning uncertain or diminutive, possibly covering (of snow perhaps if glacier is correct literal meaning), phonology. Wells 1965:11, 17, 1966 map, literally a folk etymology from lhélqi soak fish or meat or berries (because dried things could be soaked in the lake near the top of Mt. Cheam) is also quite possible but requires the name to originally have been Lhilhleqey because there is no plain in Lhílheqey.
