[Algonquiana] Question for a translation (Anicinabe)

[Robert Brightman]

H.H. Smith's//Ethnobotany of the Ojibwe Indians //gives osaga'tikum 
(presumably /oz/ . . . ?; circumflex on last two vowels) for /Osmorhiza 
//l//ongistylis/, but latter doesn't fit the description. You might look 
also in Densmore's ethnobotany, back in print as /Strength of the 
Earth/. Potawatomi nomenclature has high inter-individual homonymy and 
synonymy, and so perhaps with Ojibwe across communities and dialects. 
Good hunting.

Best,

Rob Brightman
