CAMPING

went the hunters.
.
Where?  
How far?
.
Kennebec, MA, and Kennewick, WA, have the same first syllable.  "Kenne" means "wide."  "Bec" means "brook."  "Wick," means "valley."
.
How far east and west 
did the hunters go?
.
(Google earth can tell you.)
.
Winnipeg Lake, Manitoba, and Winnimucca, NM, have the same first syllable.  "Winni" means "foul smell."  "Peg" means "bay."  "Mucca" means "lots of muck."
.
How far north and south
did the hunters go?
.
The modern paraphrase for a sleeping place for hunters is "camp."  The Norse Christian Lenape used a different idiom to mean "camp."
.
What was the Lenape idiom?
(hint: Look at the decipherment.)
