Some Klaus families may trace their origin back to the city of A-La-ke-Wash-Sha on the Holy Land namely in Awa-Hayad-Daha's dominion probably inhabited now by the tribe called ashushlai ( a-sha-wash-la-i ) - Ke-La-a-Wash .
Their language is definitely similar to sahaptin and maybe partly to salish so it is possible that they are of persian origin.
Jews and christians read Lakish and Yehudah.
