O Brave New Words: Native American Loanwords in Current English Paperback - 1994

by Charles L. Cutler


From the publisher

Native American loanwords are a crucial, though little acknowledged, part of the English language. This book shows how the more than one-thousand current loanwords were adopted and demonstrates how the changing relationships between Indians and European settlers can be traced in the rate of loanword borrowing and the kinds of words adopted. Appalachian: from the Appalachian Mountains in the eastern United States, from the Muskogean name of the Apalachee tribe of Florida Moose: Eastern Abenaki mos; Papoose: Narragansett papoos, child; Squash: Narragansett askutasquash; Texas: from a Caddo word, meaning "friends" or "allies." Charles L. Cutler is also the author of Connecticut's Revolutionary Press.

First line

RAIN RATTLED ACROSS THE VAULTED CHURCHES and rickety tenements of London in 1583.
