Questions On Tutelo-Saponi

[Scott Collins]

I'm attempting to try and find these names in the Tutelo-Saponi language. 
I'm not certain on the types of pronunciations that would have been translated in different ways back then as compared to today so these are my best guess.
 
Pash, Sepoy, Askarin, and Maraskarin (the four clan mothers of the Saponi)
Askarin = aksta/vksteh = cheek
Pash = pasahe = hoop or mound or perhaps phasu = head
Sepoy = -se = (Verb)assertive/quotative mode and or (Noun)definitve article   + ospe: = know            
Maraskarin = maxo:si: = cloud + aksta/vksteh = cheek
