3 Osage Names

[Tom Leonard]

Billy,

Justin is correct in his observation of notoriously awful translations. 
You have to take some wild guesses as to how a European would have 
spelled Osage sounds from that period.

My best S.W.A.G.:

Grétomih - gthe'daN mi - Hawk Moon, or, gthe'daN wi - Hawk Woman

Kishagashugah -  [gi] sha'ge shu'gah - Thick Nail

Minckchatahooh -  mi'xa saN ta hu (Duck Call).......perhaps "mi'xa pa 
taN ho" - mallard (Ithink this is in LaFlesche's dictionary)
