Ocananhowan and Occaneechi

[Scott Collins]

Is the following correct information:
 
 "Ocananhowan - Recorded by Smith, and later by Starchey. It has not been decipherable in Algonquian. This is because the word is Siouan. Its construction is derived from the Tutelo yu:xkan, "man," "person" + ohon, "many" + hi wa, "come," "gather." Its meaning: "many people gather here." We have seen the exact word before in Algonquian: Occaneechi, the place where people gather." ----- "Roanoke" by Lee Miller Pg. 258 & 259
