  Ta-ne-o-da'-eh, 
  lake 
  high 
  up, 
  is 
  a 
  new 
  and 
  fanciful 
  name 
  for 
  Ava- 
  

   lanche 
  lake, 
  2900 
  feet 
  above 
  tide, 
  but 
  it 
  does 
  not 
  seem 
  well 
  denned. 
  

  

  Ta-wis'-ta-a, 
  denned 
  as 
  mountain 
  cup, 
  is 
  Smith's 
  name 
  for 
  Lake 
  

   Colden. 
  The 
  definition 
  is 
  erroneous, 
  but 
  if 
  the 
  name 
  belongs 
  to 
  the 
  

   lake 
  it 
  suggests 
  Tawistawis, 
  or 
  the 
  snipe. 
  

  

  Teckyadough 
  Nigarige, 
  the 
  narrows 
  south 
  of 
  Crown 
  Point 
  ac- 
  

   cording 
  to 
  Pownall. 
  Sylvester 
  applies 
  the 
  name 
  to 
  Crown 
  Point, 
  

   denning 
  it 
  as 
  two 
  points. 
  A 
  better 
  definition 
  would 
  be 
  where 
  the 
  

   shores 
  are 
  near 
  together. 
  

  

  Tei-o-ho-ho-gen, 
  forks 
  of 
  the 
  river. 
  Ausable 
  Forks. 
  

  

  Thei-a-no-guen, 
  white 
  head. 
  This 
  is 
  King 
  Hendrick's 
  later 
  name 
  

   applied 
  to 
  Mt 
  Whiteface. 
  He 
  was 
  thus 
  called 
  by 
  the 
  Canadian 
  In- 
  

   dians 
  from 
  the 
  remarkable 
  whiteness 
  of 
  his 
  scalp. 
  The 
  French 
  form 
  

   of 
  this 
  name 
  was 
  Theyanoguen, 
  etc., 
  and 
  the 
  terminal 
  letter 
  is 
  not 
  

   sounded, 
  but 
  at 
  his 
  condolence 
  at 
  Canajoharie 
  it 
  appears 
  as 
  Tiya- 
  

   noga, 
  which 
  is 
  the 
  English 
  form. 
  

  

  Ti-con-de-ro-ga 
  has 
  been 
  written 
  in 
  many 
  ways 
  and 
  with 
  many 
  

   interpretations. 
  One 
  name 
  for 
  the 
  place 
  has 
  been 
  already 
  men- 
  

   tioned. 
  Morgan 
  wrote 
  it 
  Je-hone-ta-lo'-ga, 
  defining 
  it 
  noisy, 
  a 
  

   more 
  popular 
  than 
  sound 
  definition. 
  Colden 
  said 
  : 
  " 
  Tienderoga, 
  

   tho' 
  to 
  us 
  the 
  proper 
  name 
  of 
  the 
  Fort 
  between 
  Lake 
  George 
  and 
  

   Lake 
  Champlain, 
  signifies 
  the 
  place 
  where 
  two 
  rivers 
  meet, 
  and 
  

   many 
  places 
  are 
  called 
  by 
  that 
  name 
  in 
  the 
  Indian 
  language." 
  In 
  

   1755 
  it 
  was 
  written 
  Tianderrogoe, 
  Tianarago, 
  Tenonderoga, 
  etc. 
  

   making 
  it 
  evident 
  that 
  this 
  was 
  the 
  meaning 
  then. 
  Spafrord 
  said: 
  

   "The 
  name 
  derived 
  to 
  us 
  from 
  the 
  Indians, 
  Frenchified, 
  and 
  sig- 
  

   nified 
  noisy; 
  Che-on-der-o-ga, 
  probably 
  in 
  allusion 
  to 
  the 
  water." 
  

   Schoolcraft 
  gave 
  one 
  of 
  his 
  characteristic 
  interpretations, 
  saying: 
  

   " 
  Dionderoga, 
  place 
  of 
  the 
  inflowing 
  waters: 
  Ticonderoga, 
  from 
  

   ti, 
  water; 
  on, 
  hills; 
  dor, 
  precipitous 
  rocks, 
  and 
  aga, 
  place." 
  Tsinon- 
  

   drosie 
  was 
  another 
  name. 
  In 
  1744 
  the 
  French 
  called 
  it 
  Tiondion- 
  

   doguin 
  and 
  applied 
  the 
  name 
  to 
  Lake 
  Champlain. 
  Their 
  own 
  name 
  

   was 
  Carillon, 
  the 
  falls 
  suggesting 
  a 
  chime 
  of 
  bells. 
  On 
  the 
  map 
  of 
  

   the 
  New 
  Hampshire 
  grants 
  it 
  is 
  " 
  R. 
  Tyconderoge, 
  or 
  tale 
  of 
  the 
  

   lake." 
  One 
  might 
  there 
  " 
  a 
  tale 
  unfold."
