Clay basons they call _Ai-am-bo_, and their old round earthen forts, _Aiambo Cháah_, this last word signifying “high,” or tall: but a stockade, or wooden fort, they term, _Hoorèta_, and to inswamp, _Book-Hoore_, from _Bookse_, “a swamp,” and _Hoorèta_, “a fort, or place of difficult access.” High waters, conveys to them, an idea only of deepness; as _Ookka phobe_, “deep waters.” And they say, _Ookka chookòma intáa_, “The water glides, or moves along pleasantly, or goodly.” That the word _Intâa_, has _Ya-ah_ for its radix, is apparent from their name for a rapid current, _Yahnāle_, “it runs with a very extraordinary force;” the mid consonant is placed there, to give the word a suitable vehemence of expression—and the word is compounded of יה, _Yah_, and אל, _Ale_, two names of God. In like manner, _Yahnhà_ signifies “a pleurisy,” fever, and the like; because they reckon, when YAH says _ha_ in anger, to any of their vicious people, he immediately fires the blood, and makes it run violently through all the veins of the body. _Ashtahále_ signifies the reflection of the celestial luminaries, which is composed of two of the divine names; as אש, _Ash_, the celestial, cherubimical name of God, signifying fire, _ta_, a contraction of the conjunction copulative, and אל, _Ale_, the strong, or omnipotent. They say a river, or warm victuals, is _A-shu-pa_; that is, the former is become fordable, and the latter eatable. They here divide _Ash_ into two syllables; and the termination alludes to the word, _Apà_, which signifies eating. {67}
