"These names are sissetonwan Dakota. They may be mispelled and are from an old probate by Brill. I don't know if they are connected to spirit lake or lake traverse.
- Wakankanna
-Wateri -or- Watehi
-Tatewinorca
-Ogoota
-Kabudan
-Wakanhdiptecena
any help is appreciated."
Wakankanna = Waką́kąna. An old woman, a term of endearment.
Wateri (Most likely missing -ka or -dą) = Wathéȟidą. A dear one.
Tatewinorca = Tȟaté Winúȟčha. Old Woman Wind.
Ogoota = Oǧúta (?). (Oǧú = "to burn in"; -ta = "towards")
Kabudan = Kabúdą. Kabú = "to beat"; -dą = diminuative ("little").
Wakanhdiptecena = Wakȟą́ȟdi Ptéčena. Wakȟą́ȟdi = "Lightning" + Ptéčena = "short".
