  St 
  Stephen's 
  mission 
  at 
  the 
  foot 
  of 
  the 
  lake 
  in 
  1670, 
  

   is 
  the 
  same 
  as 
  Thiohero, 
  denned 
  below. 
  

  

  Ko-lah-ne-kah 
  is 
  the 
  name 
  of 
  Johnstown 
  but 
  Alfred 
  B. 
  Street 
  in 
  

   his 
  poem 
  of 
  Frontenac 
  applies 
  it 
  to 
  the 
  village 
  of 
  Aurora 
  which 
  

   itself 
  occupies 
  the 
  site 
  of 
  the 
  chief 
  village 
  of 
  the 
  nation, 
  which 
  was 
  

   called 
  Ko-lah-ne-kah. 
  There 
  is 
  no 
  other 
  authority 
  for 
  this. 
  

  

  Little 
  Sodus 
  bay 
  and 
  creek. 
  Sodus 
  has 
  not 
  been 
  well 
  defined. 
  

  

  Montezuma 
  town 
  and 
  marshes 
  have 
  their 
  common 
  name 
  from 
  

   the 
  Mexican 
  emperor. 
  

  

  Nas'-con 
  lake 
  for 
  Owasco, 
  as 
  used 
  by 
  Kirkland. 
  

  

  Riviere 
  d'Ochoueguen, 
  the 
  outlet 
  for 
  Cayuga 
  lake 
  in 
  1672. 
  

  

  O-i-o-go'-en 
  or 
  Oiogouen 
  was 
  a 
  name 
  for 
  Cayuga 
  used 
  by 
  the 
  

   French 
  in 
  1656. 
  G 
  was 
  commonly 
  prefixed. 
  

  

  On-i-o'-en, 
  stony 
  land, 
  was 
  the 
  home 
  of 
  the 
  Cayugas 
  in 
  1654. 
  

   For 
  the 
  people 
  it 
  was 
  sometimes 
  written 
  Ouioenrhonons, 
  involving 
  

   a 
  slight 
  error. 
  

  

  On-non-ta'-re' 
  or 
  St 
  Rene, 
  the 
  seat 
  of 
  a 
  French 
  mission 
  in 
  1656, 
  

   near 
  but 
  east 
  of 
  the 
  present 
  village 
  of 
  Savannah. 
  It 
  means 
  on 
  a 
  

   hill, 
  though 
  it 
  was 
  on 
  the 
  river, 
  but 
  may 
  be 
  rendered 
  at 
  the 
  hill. 
  

   The 
  allusion 
  is 
  to 
  Fort 
  hill, 
  not 
  far 
  away, 
  and 
  perhaps 
  to 
  the 
  small 
  

   earthwork 
  on 
  it. 
  

  

  Os'-co, 
  bridge 
  over 
  water, 
  for 
  Auburn, 
  as 
  defined 
  by 
  A. 
  Cusick. 
  

   Morgan 
  also 
  gave 
  Dwas'-co 
  as 
  bridge 
  on 
  the 
  water, 
  and 
  added 
  lake 
  

   to 
  this, 
  making 
  Owasco 
  lake, 
  lake 
  at 
  the 
  floating 
  bridge. 
  The 
  bridge 
  

   was 
  not 
  always 
  there.

  Achsgo 
  and 
  Wasco] 
  

  

  San'-ni-o, 
  a 
  village 
  at 
  the 
  foot 
  of 
  Cayuga 
  lake 
  in 
  1750, 
  and 
  on 
  

   the 
  east 
  side- 
  By 
  a 
  change 
  of 
  persons 
  this 
  is 
  from 
  gannio, 
  to 
  pass 
  

   the 
  river 
  in 
  a 
  canoe. 
  The 
  usual 
  course 
  was 
  to 
  ferry 
  over 
  Cayuga 
  

   lake, 
  instead 
  of 
  making 
  a 
  long 
  detour 
  to 
  the 
  north. 
  

  

  Sen-e-ca 
  river 
  is 
  variously 
  written 
  [see 
  Seneca 
  county]. 
  

  

  Sgan-i-a-ta'-rees 
  lake, 
  long 
  lake. 
  It 
  was 
  thus 
  written 
  by 
  Cam- 
  

   merhofT 
  when 
  at 
  Skaneateles 
  in 
  1750. 
  

  

  Squa-yen'-na, 
  a 
  great 
  zvay 
  up, 
  applied 
  by 
  Morgan 
  to 
  Otter 
  lake 
  

   and 
  Muskrat 
  creek. 
  

  

  Swa'-geh 
  river 
  is 
  his 
  name 
  for 
  Seneca 
  river, 
  and 
  is 
  equivalent 
  

   to 
  Oswego. 
  In 
  one 
  place 
  he 
  spoke 
  confidently 
  of 
  it 
  as 
  meaning 
  

   flowing 
  out, 
  but 
  afterward 
  said 
  there 
  was 
  doubt 
  of 
  this. 
  His 
  defi- 
  

   nition 
  is 
  essentially 
  correct.
