Re: No using "squa" in Maine

I thought "squaw" just meant an Indian woman.

And I just looked it up:

Squaw is a spelling of an eastern Algonquian Indian morpheme, meaning "woman," that appears in numerous Algonquian dialects variously spelled as squa, skwa, esqua, sqeh, skwe, que, kwa, ikwe, etc. As an English language loan-word, used as a noun or adjective, its present meaning is an indigenous woman of North America, regardless of tribe.


Thom, y'all need lives up there in Maine.
