HONC!
while the etymology deriving the name of the river from honc "goose" is funny, are we really sure that *most scholars* are lining up on this side? Anything is possible in a language where animal names are derived from verbs, but a quick look suggested no such word exists in the better-recorded languages of the area. Personally, I'd always assumed that the name of the river was just another form of the word for skunk, which is səɡɔ̃ɡʷ in Abenaki. — Soap — 18:14, 21 February 2021 (UTC)
