...Sheboygan/Cheboygan, founded 1846, port on Lake Michegan=Michoacan= Michuacan(Nauatl)=place of fish/Michim(N) owners/ua(N), a state the USA and Mexico have in common besides Los Angeles. ...zhaabonigan(Ojibway/Ochipauac(N)=cleaned/purified, e.g., chipeloa(N)= cross a field, enlarge a scab)=zhaa=zaua(N)=saw/old form of sew=needle, =tzaptic(N)=sharp/pointed,=-bonigan? ...Chabwegan/Shabwegan/Cheboygan(Ojib-/Ochip-auac/N)=place of ore?= big scab place(-gan/-can(N). ...Chibougamau(Lake/Cree=Chreestian, a French concoction)= Chipeloa-can maui(N)=to cross a field/lake/cleared expanse/can(N)=place, with awe/fear, e.g., maui(N)=mauiztic(N)=majestic(E). said to mean, crossed by a river, and the older form to be, Ouje-bougoumou(Cree), which can't be so as, e.g., Ojibway(Amerind) is the newer form of Ochipeuac(Nauatl). ...-gan=-can(N/postposition)=indicating time, place, or part,=canaua(N)= to hammer flat, be flattened, e.g., pepena canaua(N)=pe)pena can(aua= penacan(N)=pemmican(Cree). ...Chib-=Chip-(N)=scab/costra(sp), when healing, flat and smooth as a clearing, field, or lake in calm, but open, and therefore unprotected from marauders or weather. ...language comes from the body/chip. ....Ojibwe(Amerind)=Ochipwe-gan=Ochipauacan(N)=place of the(former) Chipeua/purified. yes, the preterit of Ojibwe/Ochipauacan(N/preterit), because these towns were formed in 1844/1846, after the Chipaua/Ojibwe, who once were the purified, the cleaned, and then the preterit form of their name served as their epitaph=eptli tlapa(N)=painted coracle and funeral conch. then, another meaning for Ojibwe=the big/ue(N)Scabs. ...in Spanish scab=llaga(sp). i remember looking in the Mexican native market for an herb known to cure scabs. as soon as i mentioned the herb, name since forgotten, i became the subject of interest to all the native ladies within hearing, as they thought it hilarious a woman might have revenged herself on a man in this way. even if your name is Chip, introducing yourself to Pocahontas or Winona may be fraught with misunderstanding.
