Pain Court => St. Louis? (fwd)

[david costa]

No, /(h)ko:/ doesn't mean anything in the local Algonquian languages. The candidate
roots for 'red' in Illinois are /niihpik-/ or, less often, /mihkw-/~/miskw-/. I don't think
they're present here. The /hko/ is Shawnee /peenhko/ is just their phonetic rendering of
French 'court'.

As a wild shot, does /(h)ko:/ mean anything in local Algonquian
languages?  What would be their term for 'red'?
