Huskanaw. An Algonquian word ap- 

 plied to certain initiation ceremonies of 

 the Virginia Indians, performed on boys at 

 puberty, which were accompanied by fast- 

 ing and the use of narcotics. The whites 

 applied the term to huskanaw ( Beverley, 

 Hist. Va., in, 32, 39, 1705) in a figurative 

 sense. Thus Jefferson (Corresp., ii, 342) 

 wrote: "He has the air of being Jiuska- 

 noyed, i. e., out of his element." The 

 term is derived from the language of the 

 Powhatan. Gerard (Am. Anthrop., vir, 

 242, 1905) etymologizes the word as fol- 

 lows: "Powhatan uskinaweu, 'he has a 

 new body', from uski 'new', naiv 'body', 

 eu 'has he', said of a youth who had 

 reached the age of puberty". But the 

 word is rather from the Powhatan equiv- 

 alent of the Massachuset ivuskenoj, ' he is 

 young', and does not necessarily contain 

 the root iaw (not naw) 'body'. It has 

 no connection with the English word 

 "husky," as some have supposed. For 

 an account of the ' ' solemnity of huskanaw- 

 ing" see Beverley, op. cit., andcf. Hecke- 

 welder (1817), Indian Nations, 245, 1876.

Husky. According to Julian Ralph ( Sun, 

 N. Y., July 14, 1895), "the common and 

 only name of the wolf-like dogs of both 

 the white and red men of our northern 

 frontier and of western Canada. " Husky 

 was originally one of the names by which 

 the English settlers in Labrador have long 

 known the Eskimo (q. v.). The word, 

 which seems to be a corruption of one of 

 the names of this people, identical with 

 our 'Eskimo' in the northern Algonquian 

 dialects, has been transferred from man to 

 the dog. (a. f. c. )
