Thanks. You've got to love those India (American-Indian, not India-Indian) words...place names around here are full of them. Even the locals tend to abbreviate the state name in writing and speech as "Mass." Where I grew up, in central Mass., learning to pronounce "Lake Chargoggagoggmanchauggagoggchaubunagungamaugg" was a rite of passage. Attempting to spell it is not for the faint of heart. :-)
Algonquin words certainly make great sounding place names, yes
