Interesting what is the source for "Tonopah derives from the Western Apache Tú Nohwá, meaning "Water For Us"". I am not sure we can call Tonopah a "Town".

Apache name[edit]

somebody check the newest stunt in calling it "Hot water under bush" -- I don't speak a word of Apache, but Tú Nohwá really does sound more akin to Navajo Tó nihá ("water for us"). Choyoołʼįįhí:Seb az86556 ^{> haneʼ} 09:07, 17 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, Tonopah means "Hot Water Under The Bush" in the Native Ho Hokam language.

Mr. Pennington, I'm thrilled that you have knowledge of the Hohokam language. This makes you a very special individual, considering the Hohokam as a culture are only known from the archaeological record, and are not known to have left any trace of their language after 1450 (although it's certainly likely that the O'odham people or other native groups are their descendants), so the fact that you have knowledge of the Hohokam language must mean that you are in the possession of a very special kind of artifact, proving that the Hohokam had a written language, which you have obviously deciphered. I would be delighted if you could provide us with more information on this artifact, as it would be a great contribution to the knowledge of the history of Arizona. --ಠ_ಠ node.ue ಠ_ಠ (talk) 01:45, 26 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hot Springs is incorrect.[edit]

Someone added the hot springs section and referenced a archaeological survey that relates to Tonopah Nevada not Arizona. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.97.56.74 (talk) 18:53, 10 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
