_Deyohhagwente_ (Onon., _Tyohagwente_), "open voice" (?) This is another obsolete, or semi-obsolete word, about which the interpreters differ widely in opinion. "Hollow tube," "windpipe," "opening in the woods," "open voice," were the various renderings suggested. The latter would be derived from _ohakwa_ or _ohagwa_, voice, and the termination _wente_ or _gwente_, which gives the sense of "open." The three chiefs of the first Oneida class belong to the Wolf clan. 34. _Shononhsese_ (Onon., Shononses), "his long house." or, "he has a long house." From _kanonsa_, house, with the adjective termination _es_, long. _Daonahrokenagh_ (Onon., Tonaohgena), "two branches." This is another doubtful word. In modern Canienga, "two branches" would be _Tonenroken_. _Atyatonentha_ (Onon., Hatyatonnentha), "he lowers himself," or, literally, "he slides himself down," from _oyata_, body, self, and _tonnenta_, to slide. The councillors of the second Oneida class are of the Tortoise clan. 35. _Dewatahonhtenyonk_ (Onon., _Tehatahonhtenyonk_), "two hanging ears," from _ohonta_, ear. _Kaniyatahshayonk_ (Onon., _Kanenyatakshayen_). This name was rendered "easy throat," as if derived from _oniata_, throat; but the Oneida form of the word seems to point to a derivation from _onenya_ (or _onenhia_), stone. This word must be regarded as another obsolete compound. _Onwatsatonhonk_ (Onon., _Onwasjatenwi_), "he is buried." The three chiefs of the third Oneida class are of the Bear clan. 36. _Eghyesaotonnihsen_, lit., "this was his uncle,"--or, as the words would be understood by the hearers, "the next are his uncles." The Onondaga nation, being the brother of the Canienga, was, of course, the uncle of the Oneida. In John Buck's MS. the Onondagas are introduced with more ceremony, in the following lines: _Etho yeshodonnih_; These are the uncles; _Rodihsennakeghde_, They, the name-bearers-- _Tehhotiyena_, They took hold here; _Rodihnonsyonnihton_. They made the League. That is, they helped, or joined, in making the League. _Thatotarho, Wathatotarho_ (Onon., _Thatotarho_). _Thatotarho_ is the passive voice and cislocative form of _otarho_, which is defined "to grasp," or "catch" (_accrocher_) but in the passive signifies "entangled." This great chief, whose name is better known as Atotarho (without the cislocative prefix), is of the Bear clan. _Etho ronaraschsen_, "these were cousins," or rather, "the next were cousins." This cousinhood, like all the relationships throughout the book, is political, and indicates some close relationship in public affairs. The announcement applies to the following chiefs, Enneserarenh and Dehatkahthos, who were the special aids and counselors of Atotarho. _Enneserarenh_ (Onon. _Hanesehen_). One Onondata chief said that he knew no meaning for this word. Another thought it might mean "the best soil uppermost." It is apparently from some obsolete root.
