gwaai

RFV of both senses in the English L2. I can't find any evidence of the cigarette sense, and nothing for the Haida sense that unambiguously uses it as a noun and not some sort of title. —Μετάknowledge^{discuss/deeds} 20:38, 13 August 2014 (UTC)

Added three citations for the cigarette sense, but at least one has it in italics, suggesting code-switching. Equinox ◑ 16:55, 13 March 2015 (UTC)

Haida sense RFV-failed. Cigarette sense RFV-passed? I can also find this citation but can't tell what sense it's using:

• 2002, Graeme Feltham, One Hundred Naked Beers, page 50:

  She still wets her gwaais. She's removed her Fanucci fuck-me-shoes that her toes were peeping out from and her beautiful feet cross at the ankles. They are not consummately moulded. They are what she walks with.

RFV-passed, I guess (based on the citations in the entry, not the one above). - -sche (discuss) 01:22, 15 July 2015 (UTC)
