31. _Sharenhowane_; in Onondaga, _Showenhona_. This name was translated by the interpreters, "he is the loftiest tree." It seems properly to mean "he is a great tree-top," from _karenha_, or _garenha_, which Bruyas renders _cime d'arbre_, and _kowane_, great. _Deyonnhehgonh_, or _Teyonhehkwen_, "double life," from _onnhe_, life. My friend, Chief George Johnson, who bears this titular appellation, tells me that it is properly the name of a certain shrub, which has a great tenacity of life. _Ohrenregowah_; in Onondaga, _Owenhegona_. The interpreters differed much in opinion as to the meaning of this name. Some said "wide branches;" another, "a high hill." The root-word, _ohrenre_, is obsolete, and its meaning is apparently lost. The three chiefs of the second class or division of the Caniengas belong to the Wolf clan. 32. _Dehennakarine_; in Onondaga, _Tehennakaihne_; "going with two horns." The root is _onakara_, horn; the termination _ine_, or _ihne_, gives the sense of going; _de_ or _te_ is the duplicative prefix. _Aghstawenserontha_ (Onon. _Hastawensenwa_), "he puts on the rattles." Mr. Bearfoot writes, "_Ohstawensera_ seems to have been a general name for anything denuded of flesh, but is now confined to the rattles of the rattlesnake." _Shosgoharowane_ (Onon. _Shosgohaehna_), "he is a great wood-drift." "_Yohskoharo_, writes Mr. Bearfoot, means an obstruction by driftwood in creeks or small rivers." The councillors of the third Canienga class are of the Bear clan. 33. _Ise seniyatagweniyohkwe_, "ye two were the principals." _Atagweniyo_, or _adakweniyu_ (see _ante_, note to Sec. 28) here becomes a verb in the imperfect tense and the dual number. The reference is either to Dekanawidah and Odatsehte, the chiefs of the Caniengas and Oneidas, who worked together in founding the confederacy, or, rather, perhaps, to their two nations, each regarded as an individual, and, in a manner, personified. _Jatatawhak_, or, more properly _jatatahwak_, means, literally, "son of each other." It is from the root-word _kaha-wak_ (or _gahawak_), which is defined by Bruyas, _avoir pour enfant_, and is in the reciprocal form. Here, however, it is understood to mean "father and son," in reference to the political relationship between the Canienga and Oneida nations. _Odatsehte_ (Onon., Tatshehte), "bearing a quiver,"--or the pouch in which the arrows are carried. According to the tradition, when Dekanawidah's brother and ambassador formally adopted _Odatsehte_ as the political son of the Canienga chief, he took the quiver off his own shoulder, and hung it upon that of the Oneida chieftain. _Kanonhgwenyodon_, "setting up ears of corn in a row." From _ononhkwenha_, an ear of corn.
