<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I'm not near my Osage names book right
now (Louis Burns's "Osage Indian Bands and Clans"), but I can tell you from
having researched that book fairly extensively that -walla is a causative form,
i.e., -wağe, where ğe is the causative and wa- is doing whatever wa- does
(valence reduction). I've noticed the same phenomenon in old Kaw
census data, where the name noNppe-waye ('inspires fear') is written
in Agent-ese as No-pah-walla. Not so sure what olohah would be,
though. Oloha/e? Aloha/e? And maybe the l is kl, maybe the h
is x... It could be any number of things, I suppose.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV>I'm looking for a translation to the name of an Osage man from Pawhuska,
OK who lived in the late 1800s.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The name is Olohawalla. Perhaps seperated as O-Lohah-Walla.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Could anyone help with a possible translation?</DIV><BR><BR>
