Ä´läho´--Quapaw? Omaha? Described as a tribe living north from the Osage, and with the same language and style of shaving the head. Gaa´piatañ, who knows the name of the Quapaw, says they are the Äläho´. The name occurs in the early French narratives, as Anahou, Anahon, Anahous, and Annaho, described as the Osage or a part of them (Joutel, 1687; La Harpe, 1719; Bienville (?), 1719; in Margry, VI). Dorsey stated that the Osage, Quapaw, and Kaw speak one dialect, and the Omaha and Ponka another dialect, of the same language. The name has no meaning to the Kiowa, who say that it is the name used by the Äläho´ themselves. It can hardly be intended for the Omaha, whom the Kiowa call _O´moho´ñko_. älo´--plural _älâ´go_, the wild plum; _t`äbälo´_, "antelope plum," a smaller bush variety; _señ-älo´_, "prickly _älo´_," the prickly pear; _pa´gi-älo´_, "downy _älo´_," peach; _älo-sâhe´_, "green _älo´_," apple; _älo´-gu´ak`o_, "yellow _älo´_," orange; _älo´-koñ´kya_, "black _älo´_," prune. âm, âmo--the root of the verb to do, to make; I make it (generic), _gyädâ´mo_; I make it (dress, arrow, etc), _gyätâ´mo_; I make butter, etc, _giâ´mo_. an--a track. änä´obahe´ma--we must die (from Kâitse´ñko song).
