Footprints of the Red Men: Indian Geographical Names — Passage 76
[Edward Manning Ruttenber (1906)] A good parallel are the _Wawenocks_ of S. W. Maine, now living at St. Francis, who call themselves _Walinaki,_ or those living on a cove--'cove dwellers'--in referring to their old home on the Atlantic coast near Portland. In the Micmac (N. S.) dialect _Walini_ is 'bay, cove,' and even the large Bay of Fundy is called so. The meaning of _k_ or _ka_ is not clear, but _ong,_ in the later forms, is the locative 'at, on, upon.'" It is safe to say that at either the Dans Kamer, Low Point, or Kingston Point, the clan would have been seated on a bay, cove, recess or indentation shaped like a bay, and it is also safe to say that _Warona_ and _Walina_ may be read as equivalents, the former in the local dialect, and the latter in the Eastern, and that its general meaning is "Concave, hollowing site." Zeisberger wrote _l_ instead of _r_ in the Minsi-Lenape, hence _Woalac,_ "A hollow or excavation"; _Walóh,_ "A cove"; _Walpecat,_ "Very deep water." The dialectic _r_ prevails pretty generally on the Hudson and on the Upper Delaware.
