bwanton] EARLY HISTORY OF THE CREEK INDIANS 23 
W'amii, Wampee. The name of a plant which grows in the lowlands of Smith 
Carolina; also called pickerel weed ( Pontederia cordate). 1 
Wwimi Wandoe. A tribe on Cooper River usually included with the Cusabo; 
Wan do River is named for them but the name has been transferred from the stream 
to which it properly belongs. 8 
Wavtoht. A plantation in the low country of South Carolina. 1 
Wapensaw. Lands near Charleston. S. <'.' 
Wappetaw Bridge. A place name. 
Wappoo, Wappo, Wapoo. A creek on the landward side of Edisto Island; also given 
by Baxtram as the name of a tribe formerly living near South Carolina, which the 
Creeks had driven away. 8 
Washishoe. A plantation. 8 
Wasuia. An island. 7 
Westo, Westoe, Wrstoii. Westa, Westras. A name which appears to have been 
given to the Vuchi by the Cusabo and is evidently in the Cusabo language. 8 
Westoboo, Westoebou, Westoe bou, Westoe Boo, Westoe Bou. The name of 
the Savannah River in the Cusabo language, said to mean "River of the Westo" and 
in one place interpreted as ''the Enemies' River." 9 
Wimbee, Wimbehk. GmoMAEZ (?). A Cusabo tribe which seems to have been 
located between the Combahee and Broad Rivers. 10 
Win a. Mentioned as an Indian met near Port Royal in 1681 along with another 
named Antonio. It may be merely the Spanish Juan. 
Wiskinboo. A swamp in Berkeley County, between Cooper and Santee Rivers. 11 
Witcheau, Wichcauh, Watchetsatj ('?). A Cusabo tribe mentioned only two or 
three times: location unknown. 12 
Wommony. The son of a chief of St. Helena. 13 
Yeshoe. The name of certain lands in South Carolina near Charleston. 14 
Yanahume. A town on the south side of "the river of Santa Elena." reported by 
a Spanish expedition of 1564. 1S 
Following are the few words and phrases to be found in early works 
dealing with this region: 
Appada. The[Sewee?] Indians called out this word to the English and it is probably 
corrupt Spanish. 16 
IIiddeskkh. This is said to mean "sickly." 17 
Hidiue uod. Described as "a word of great kindness among them"; the Indians 
who used this, however, also referred to the English as "comraro," evidently an 
attempt at the Spanish camarada, so we can not feel sure that hiddie dod is not a 
corrupt Spanish expression as well. 18 
Hiddy doddy Comorado Angles Westoe Skorrye, " English very good friends, 
Westoes are nought." 19 The words here are under the same suspicion as the one just 
mentioned and must therefore be handled carefully; moreover, Indian words con- 
tained in old documents are so often transcribed wrongly that we can never be certain 
of the exact form where we have but one example to which to refer.
