I checked Vol. 1 of the Western Abenaki Dictionary, \nby Dr. Gordon Day, and given your caveat about the spellings looked \nas widely as I could, but nothing seemed to correspond - some of the \ncombinations don't even seem to be sounds that the Western Abenaki \nused with any frequency.  The closest match was wigkannid \"the one \nwho likes to travel\" and perhaps wigkikan \"liking to plant, sow\" - \nbut I think you would be hard pressed to make these work.\n\nCheers, "
