Not illustrated. 1908 edition. Excerpt: ... INDEX GLOSSARY OF INDIANA INDIAN NAMES. Aboite--River and township in Allen County. A corruption of the French name Riviere a Boitte or Riviere a Bouette, meaning River of Minnows--strictly speaking, minnows used as bait for larger fish. The Miami name of the stream is Na-kow'-we-se-pe, or Sand Creek. Amo--Town in Hendricks County. Often said to be "the Indian word for honeybee," which is ah'mo, in Odjibwa and Potawatomi. In reality it is the Latin "amo," "I love." Anderson--County-seat of Madison County. Named for William Anderson, head chief of the Indiana Delawares. His Indian name was Kok-to'-wha-nund, which may be translated "Making a Cracking Noise," or "Causing to Crack." The name of the Delaware town at this point was Wah'-pi-mins'-kink, or Chestnut Tree Place. Anoka--Town in Cass County.

Apekonit--Miami name of Captain William Wells, sometimes translated "Indian potato." It is the Miami name of the "wild bean," or "groundnut"--apios tuberosa. Pronounced a-pe-kon'-it. Ashkum--Reservation and village of a Potawatomi chief of that name, in Miami County. The name is variously translated "to continue," "more and more," "more of the same kind"--the idea being the same in each case. Atchepongquawe--A creek, tributary to the Salominee, in Jay County, now known as Butternut Creek, named in the treaty of St. Mary's (Oct. 6, 1818) to locate a reservation for the children of Langlois. The name is compounded of at-che'-pong, the Miami for "snapping-turtle," and "wah-we," an egg. Probably the latter should be plural, and the name would be better written at-che'-pong-kwah'-wah. Aubbeenaubbee--Township in...
