WHITE OWL

White Owl
at the Abundance
of Rivers.

.
Was the person shown in the pictograph really called “White owl?”

.

 Perhaps the original Historian meant something else.

.

Let us check.

.

The original sounds recorded by the Moravian priests in AD 1831 were “wapagokhos.”

.

Look up “Wapa” in the VIKING and the REDMAN.  
[Hint, the best page is in Vol. 5, general vocabulary.]

.

What does "WAPA" mean?

.

The LENAPE
named birds and animals by the sounds they made.

.

Do you think “go-khos” sounds like an owl?

.

Do you think the name is for a bird?

.

Or do you think the name describes a man with the attributes of the bird?
.
 If so, what are some attributes the man might have had?
