  Ga-na'-so-wa-di 
  is 
  Morgan's 
  name 
  for 
  Norwich, 
  and 
  A. 
  Cusick 
  

   defined 
  it 
  as 
  the 
  other 
  side

  the 
  sand.

  the

  Gen-e-ganst-let 
  creek

  is

  suggestive 
  words 
  in 
  Bruyas, 
  

   as 
  Gannegastha, 
  to 
  love 
  to 
  drink, 
  and 
  gaiagense,

  town. 
  The 
  name 
  has 
  been 
  variously 
  inter-

  and 
  definitions 
  will 
  be 
  found 
  under 
  the 
  head 
  of 
  Broome 
  

   county.

  thick-necked 
  giant, 
  is 
  Morgan's 
  name 
  for 
  

  

  Oxford. 
  It 
  may 
  be 
  a 
  reference 
  to

  Cusick's 
  story 
  of 
  a 
  trouble- 
  

   some
