Do old Louisiana French word lists show 'chaoui' or 'brème' from Native languages?

Research question: Which Louisiana French dictionaries, glossaries, or folklore collections first record 'chaoui' and 'brème' with a dated gloss, and do they cite any Native etymon or language?

The verified facts do not identify any Louisiana French dictionary, glossary, or folklore collection that first records 'chaoui' or 'brème' with a dated gloss ¹. The only verified fact concerns 'brème,' a Rosetta Stone phrasebook page that glosses it as eggplant in Cajun French, but it attributes no Native language and gives no dictionary or dated first record ¹. Nothing in the file addresses 'chaoui,' so whether any Native etymon is cited for either word cannot be determined ¹. The newest fact is dated July 17, 2024, so it is about two years and three months old as of October 2026 ¹.
