When you go to Fort McPherson get some McPherson shoes (i. e. Indian moccasins); I want them.
Comment:
As Stefánsson (1909: 226) explains about this example: Get them; I want them, is the usual jargon way of saying 'get them for me'. Iglupȗk 'barracks' is also the pidgin name for Fort McPherson, the Hudson's Bay Company's trading post. In the lexifier language, the word means 'big house'.
