Wickakee. One of the names of the 

 scarlet painted-cup {CastiUeia coccinea), 

 called in Massachusetts "Indian paint- 

 brush" ; probably derived from one of 

 the Algonquian dialects. 



Wickaninnish. Originally the name of 

 a chief, but used by authors to designate 

 several tribes, separately and collectively, 

 between Nootka sd., Vancouver id., and 

 Juan de Fuca str., Brit. Col. 



Wickaninnish.— Jewitt, Narr., 87, 1849. Wick-a-

Wickiup. The popular name for the 

 brush shelter or mat-covered house, of 

 the Paiute, Apache, and other tribes of 

 Nevada, Arizona, and the adjacent re- 

 gion. The name is of disputed origin, 

 but apparently is from the Sauk, Fox, and 

 Kickapoo wiklyapi, 'lodge,' 'dwelling,' 

 'house.' See Habitations. 



Wickopy. See Wicopy. 



Wickup. A New England name, par- 

 ticularly in Massachusetts, of the Anaeri- 

 can linden or bass wood ( Tilia americana), 

 from wikop, the name of this tree in 



Massachuset, Chippewa, and closely re- 

 lated dialects of the Algonquian stock. 

 The willow-herb {Epilobium angustifo- 

 lium) is also known as wickup or Indian 

 wickup. In this case the name is due to 

 transference. See Tfzcopi/- (a. p. c. ) 



Wicocomoco. A tribe, belonging to the 

 Povyhatan confederacy, residing on the 

 s. side of Potomac r., at its. mouth, in 

 Northumberland co., Va. Their prin- 

 ciiml village was at the mouth of Wico- 

 mocco r. In 1608 they numbered about 

 520, but in 1722 had dwindled to a few 

 individuals, who still kept up the name 

 and avoided intercourse with the whites 

 and other Indians. The meaning of the 

 name is unknown, but the last part, co- 

 moco, is the Powhatan term, in composi- 

 tion, for a stockaded village. (j. m. ) 



Wicocomocco. — Beverley, Va., 199, 1722. Wighoco- 

 moco.— Smith (1629), Va., I, map, repr. 1819. 

 Yoacomoco.— Herrman, map (1670) in Rep. on the 

 Line between Va. and Md., 1873. 



Wicocomoco. A tribe formerly living on 

 Wicomico r. , on the e. shore of Maryland, 

 having their principal village, in 1608, on 

 the s. bank of the river in Somerset co. 

 They were of small stature and spoke a 

 language different from that of the Pow- 

 hatan tribes. They frequently united 

 with the Nanticoke in attacks on the col- 

 onists, even crossing to the w. shore for 

 this purpose, but in 1668, as a condition 

 of peace with the English, the Nanticoke 

 "emperor" agreed to deliver the whole 

 Wicocomoco tribe into their hands. A few 

 mongrels still retain the name. ( J. m. )

 neer, II, 192, 1843. Wycomeses.— Evelin (1648) 

 quoted by Proud, Penn., i, 114,1797. 



Wicopy. A New England name of the 

 moosewood {Dirca palustris), called also 

 leatherwood on account of the strength 

 and toughness of the bark ropes made 

 from it in Indian fashion. The Indian 

 word from which wicopy or xvickopy is 

 derived applies not to the leatherwood 

 but to the stringy bark of the whitewood 

 or basswood ( Tilia americana). The ori- 

 gin of the word is seen in Massachuset 

 wik'pi, Abnaki wigJiebi, Delaware wikbi, 

 Chippewa wigob, and Cree wikupiy, each 

 signifying 'inner bark,' particularly the 

 bast of the linden. The components of 

 this Algonquian term are: w, preforma- 

 tive; i, connective; and the radical kop, 

 'inner or second bark.' Wickup is the 

 same word. (a. f. c.)
