How did Pocahontas say hello?

Pocahontas (or Matoaka) spoke the Powhatan language, so she used the words chamah or netab - perhaps both.

These were words of greeting - chamah is about the same as "welcome" and netab means "I am your friend"; I can not think of any other historic language where such a friendly greeting is used.
