  but 
  the 
  old 
  definition 
  of 
  the 
  former, 
  as 
  a 
  cap, 
  seems 
  the 
  true 
  one, 
  

   and 
  was 
  originally 
  given 
  by 
  David 
  Cusick. 
  It 
  was 
  also 
  used 
  for 
  

   the 
  river 
  above 
  the 
  falls 
  in 
  1726, 
  in 
  the 
  deed 
  of 
  trust, 
  the 
  line 
  run- 
  

   ning 
  from 
  Lake 
  Osweege 
  or 
  Erie, 
  " 
  all 
  along 
  the 
  narrow 
  passage 
  

   from 
  the 
  said 
  Lake 
  to 
  the 
  Falls 
  of 
  Oniagara, 
  Called 
  Cahaquaraghe." 
  

   That 
  is, 
  this 
  name 
  did 
  not 
  belong 
  to 
  the 
  falls, 
  but 
  to 
  the 
  river 
  above 
  

   them. 
  In 
  1701 
  the 
  name 
  of 
  Cahiquage, 
  apparently 
  derived 
  from 
  

   this, 
  was 
  applied 
  to 
  Lake 
  Erie. 
  

  

  Ca-yu-ga 
  creek 
  and 
  island 
  above 
  Niagara 
  Falls. 
  

  

  Che-non-dac, 
  or 
  Jo-no'-dak 
  as 
  written 
  by 
  Morgan, 
  was 
  the 
  old 
  

   name 
  of 
  Chippewa 
  creek 
  on 
  the 
  Canadian 
  shore. 
  The 
  first 
  form 
  is 
  

   Pouchot's, 
  and 
  Morgan 
  gave 
  the 
  same 
  name 
  to 
  the 
  Welland 
  canal. 
  

   It 
  means 
  shallow 
  zwter. 
  The 
  present 
  name 
  came 
  from 
  the 
  Ojibwas 
  

   (Chippewas) 
  or 
  Mississagas, 
  who 
  settled 
  there. 
  

  

  Chu-to-nah, 
  or 
  Chu-nu-ta 
  is 
  the 
  Indian 
  name 
  for 
  a 
  place 
  called 
  

   Bloody 
  Lane. 
  A. 
  Cusick 
  interpreted 
  this 
  where 
  the 
  zvater 
  comes 
  

   and 
  overflows 
  everything.

  Neither 
  of 
  these 
  is 
  exact.

  to 
  Morgan.

  on

  Heights, 
  " 
  in 
  allusion 
  to 
  the 
  postures 
  assumed 
  by 
  the 
  

   French 
  and 
  Indians 
  while 
  climbing 
  the 
  steep 
  acclivity 
  under 
  their 
  

   heavy 
  burdens." 
  This

  long 
  a 
  famous 
  portage, 
  including 
  three 
  

   steep 
  ascents.

  the 
  current 
  goes 
  round, 
  is 
  his 
  name 
  for

   whirlpool. 
  Marshall 
  and 
  Morgan 
  often 
  differ 
  in 
  making 
  Deo 
  or 
  

   Dyu 
  one 
  or 
  two 
  syllables.
