  Pownall's 
  name 
  of 
  Lake 
  Champlain 
  are 
  good 
  points 
  in 
  this 
  paper, 
  

   and 
  he 
  considers 
  Irondequoit 
  as 
  thus 
  meaning 
  a 
  door 
  of 
  the 
  country, 
  

   and 
  Toronto 
  a 
  derivative. 
  

  

  Ke-int-he, 
  a 
  Seneca 
  town 
  of 
  1677. 
  This 
  name 
  was 
  also 
  given 
  to 
  

   a 
  Cayuga 
  village 
  of 
  the 
  same 
  period, 
  on 
  the 
  Bay 
  of 
  Quinte' 
  in 
  

   Canada. 
  

  

  Ne-a'-ga 
  Wa— 
  a-gwen-ne-yu, 
  Niagara 
  lake 
  footpath 
  is 
  a 
  Seneca 
  

   name 
  given 
  by 
  Morgan 
  for 
  the 
  trail 
  near 
  Lake 
  Ontario. 
  

  

  O'-at-ka, 
  an 
  opening, 
  is 
  his 
  name 
  for 
  Scottsville, 
  and 
  it 
  is 
  also 
  

   applied 
  to 
  Allen's 
  creek 
  in 
  Genesee 
  county. 
  

  

  O-hu-de-a-ra 
  is 
  a 
  Seneca 
  name 
  for 
  Lake 
  Ontario, 
  according 
  to 
  

   some, 
  but 
  this 
  seems 
  doubtful. 
  

  

  O-neh'-chi-geh, 
  long 
  ago, 
  is 
  Morgan's 
  name 
  for 
  Sandy 
  creek. 
  

  

  Sgo-sa-ist-hoh, 
  where 
  the 
  szveil 
  dashes 
  against 
  the 
  precipice, 
  is 
  

   applied 
  by 
  Harris 
  to 
  a 
  rift 
  on 
  Irondequoit 
  creek, 
  above 
  the 
  dugway 
  

   mills. 
  Marshall 
  wrote 
  it 
  Sgoh'-sa-is'-thah, 
  with 
  the 
  same 
  place 
  and 
  

   meaning. 
  The 
  first 
  division 
  is 
  best. 
  

  

  Sko'-sa-is-to, 
  falls 
  rebounding 
  from 
  an 
  obstruction, 
  is 
  Morgan's 
  

   name 
  for 
  Honeoye 
  Falls. 
  

  

  Ta-e-ga-ron-di-es, 
  visited 
  by 
  La 
  Mothe 
  and 
  Hennepin 
  in 
  1678, 
  was 
  

   Totiakton, 
  and 
  was 
  called 
  Thegarondies 
  by 
  Lahontan 
  in 
  1687.

  To-ti-ak'-ton, 
  a 
  Seneca 
  village 
  mentioned 
  by 
  Greenhalgh 
  in 
  1677, 
  

   was 
  on 
  an 
  abrupt 
  bend 
  of 
  Honeoye 
  creek, 
  and 
  had 
  its 
  name 
  from 
  its 
  

   situation, 
  the 
  word 
  meaning 
  bend 
  or 
  bending. 
  Greenhalgh 
  called 
  it 
  

   Tiotohatton, 
  and 
  said 
  it 
  " 
  is 
  near 
  the 
  river 
  Tiottehatton, 
  which 
  sig- 
  

   nifies 
  bending." 
  Morgan 
  gave 
  it 
  as 
  Da-yo'-de-hok-to, 
  a 
  bended 
  

   creek. 
  Doty 
  wrote 
  it 
  Totiakto, 
  following 
  Marshall. 
  The 
  French 
  

   sometimes 
  made 
  it 
  Totiakton, 
  but 
  called 
  the 
  last 
  Seneca 
  castle 
  de- 
  

   stroyed 
  in 
  1687, 
  Theodehacto. 
  It 
  had 
  then 
  been 
  moved 
  to 
  a 
  site 
  

   west 
  of 
  Honeoye 
  Falls. 
  The 
  Seneca 
  chief 
  Blacksmith 
  gave 
  it 
  the 
  

   name 
  of 
  De-yu'-di-haak'-do, 
  the 
  bend. 
  This 
  was 
  the 
  Mission 
  of 
  *la 
  

   Concepcion, 
  often 
  called 
  Sonnontouan 
  by 
  the 
  Jesuits. 
  It 
  is 
  doubtful 
  

   whether 
  it 
  was 
  ever 
  so 
  called 
  by 
  the 
  Senecas, 
  as 
  this 
  meant 
  the 
  

   great 
  hill, 
  being 
  their 
  national 
  name 
  and 
  not 
  suited 
  to 
  either 
  site. 
  

  

  Wah-gah-ah-yeh, 
  the 
  old 
  fort, 
  was 
  the 
  Seneca 
  name 
  for 
  an 
  early 
  

   earthwork 
  at 
  Handford's 
  landing 
  in 
  Rochester. 
  Harris 
  said 
  the 
  full 
  

   descriptive 
  name 
  would 
  be 
  Twah-dah-a-la-ha-la, 
  or 
  fort 
  on 
  a 
  hill.
