54. _Talamatan_. This was the Lenape name of the Huron-Iroquois or Wyandots. It is found in the form _Telamatinos_ in a "List of 11 Nations living West of Allegheny" present by deputy at a Conference in Philadelphia, 1759 (_Minutes of the Prov Council of Penna._, Vol. VIII, p. 418). Heckewelder gives _Delamattenos_ (_Ind. Nations_, p. 80). Rafinesque translates the name in one place by "not Talas," and in another by "not of us," from Len. _matta_, not, Latin _nos_, us. That the Lenape did not speak Latin made no difference in his linguistic theory, as he held all languages to be at core the same! On the Hurons, see above, p. 16. V. 2. _Wapalaneng_, apparently the White River, Indiana, or else the Wabash. 16. In this line the three tribes are mentioned which were previously named in IV, 44, 45, 46, and the difference in the spelling shows that the chant was written down by one unacquainted with the forms of the language. The correspondent names are:-- IV. V. Akowini, Sinako. Towakon, Towako. Lowanuski, Lowako. The termination _ako_, uniformly rendered by Rafinesque _snake_, appears to be either the animate plural in _ak_, or the locative _aki_, place or land. The _Towako_ are probably the Ot-tawa called by the Delaware _Taway_; or the Twightees, called by them _Tawatatwee_ (see "List of 11 Nations," etc., in _Minutes of the Prov. Council of Pa._, Vol. VIII, p. 418). There is difficulty in reconciling _Akowini_ and _Sinako_. In the former, the prefix _ako_ may be from _achgook_, snake, as Rafinesque and Squier rendered it. The word _Lowanuski_ appears again in v. 18, where Raf. inserts the note, "Lowushkis are Esquimaux." It means simply "winter land," or "Northern people," and is not likely to have any reference to the Eskimo. 22. "Without snakes," _i. e._, free from enemies. 24. On the derivation of Susquehannah, see page 14. 25. _Winakaking_, Sassafras Land, the native name of eastern Pennsylvania. 29. The Wapings and the Minsi seem to be referred to. 33, 36. The omission of the numbers 34 and 35 is in the original MS. 50. _Ganshowenik_; Raf. translates this "the noisy place, or Niagara." It is a derivative from the root _kan_. See Vocab. 60. _Ewenikiktit_, may be translated "whites" or "Europeans." See Vocabulary. VOCABULARY. In the following Vocabulary the meaning placed immediately after the word is that assigned to it in Rafinesque's original MS, the probable composition of it is then added, with its correct rendering. The standard of the language adopted is that of the Moravian missionaries (see above, p. 97). The initials referring to authorities are Z., for Zeisberger, K., for Kampman, H., for Heckewelder, R. W., Roger Williams, C. or Camp., Campamus, etc. Aan. I, 6. To move; to go; Z. conjugated, _Gram._, p. 142. Chip _am_, he goes; _aunj-eh_, he moves. Cf. _Payat._
