Talk:Eel River (Wabash River tributary)

Which language?
The river lay between the Miami and Potawatomi tribes. Which language, if either, does "kenapocomoco" come from?

It is supposed to mean "river of the snake fish". In the Potawatomi language, "river" is sibe, "snake" is mnlto or mjumnito, and "fish" is gegos. In the Miami language, "stream" is siipiiwi, and "fish" is kiconessa.  I cannot find any more comprehensive online Miami-Illinois dictionaries, though there seem to be several hardcopy sources that I don't have ready access to. Both languages are in the Algonquin family, so playing amateur linguist and hazarding a guess based on phonology would be, umm, hazardous.

 * Bingo! The just-added literary reference has "kenapocomoco" from the Miami language. --Kbh3rd 22:38, 13 Dec 2004 (UTC)
