 Kakani; lake, immediately l)ehind the beach in the St. Elias alpine region, l)etween 



the Alsek delta and Yakutat bay. So called by Tebenkof in 1849. Appar- 

 ently a native name. It is near Kakan river. 

 Kakat. This is an Indian word, used in northwest Alaska, meaning river and is 



appended to the name. Thus we have: 

 AUenkakat river = Allen (river) Ri\er. 

 Batzakakat river = Batza (river) River. 

 Oaklikakat river = Dakli (river) River. 

 Dulbikakat river = Dulbi (river) River. 

 Gisasakakat river = Gisasa (river) River. 



Ilogatzakakat river = Hogatza (river) River. ,, 



Husliakakat river = Huslia (river) River. I 



Tozikakat river = Tozi (river) River, etc. | 



In such cases it has been thought best to drop the generic termination btkat 



and write Allen, Batza, Dakli, etc. This word kahif, was written, in 1S71, 



by Captain Raymond, U. S. A., on his maps of the Yukon, kargut and 



chargut, as Atutsakulakuschchargut, Tosekargut, etc.

terms being indifferently applied.
