_Ette_ signifies wood; and they term any kind of chest, box, or trunk, _Eette Oobe_; and frequently, _Oobe_; which seems to point to the “ark of the purifier,” that was so fatal to the laity even to touch; a strong emanation of the holy fire, light, and spirit, residing in it, as well as in that which the priests carried to war, against the devoted enemy. The Chikkasah settled a town, in the upper, or most western part of the Muskohge country, about 300 miles eastward of their own nation, and called it _Ooe-ása_;[25] which is derived from O E A, and _Asa_, “there,” or “here, is;” _i. e._ “YO HE WAH presides in this place.” And, when a person is removing from his former dwelling, they ask him, _Ish-ooè-à (tūm?)_ “are you removing hence, in the name, or under the patronage, of YO HE WAH?” And it both signifies to ascend, and remove to another place. As, O E A, ABA, the omnipresent father of mankind, is said to dwell above, so the Indian hopes to remove there from hence, by the bounty of Ishtohoollo, the great holy One: according to their fixed standard of speech, had they made any nearer approach to O E A, the strong religious emblem of the beloved four-lettered name, it would have been reckoned a prophanation. _Phutchik_ signifies a star, and _Oonna_ “he is arrived:” but _Phutchik Oonnache_, “the morning-star;” because he is the forerunner of light, and resembles the sun that reflects it. And _Oonna-hah_ signifies to-morrow, or it is day. The termination denotes their gladness, that the divine light had visited them again: and, when they are asking if it is day, they say _Onna He (tak?)_. The last monosyllable only asks a question; and the fæminine gender treble note is the mid syllable of the great divine name—which may reflect some light upon the former observations.
