Strangely enough, the word Tippecanoe comes from a Shawnee Indian word, Kith-tip-pe-ca-nauk or Ke-tap-e-kon-nong, meaning "Buffalo Fish" (probably a carplike fish or giant minnow. That ultimate "nauk" or "nong" does sound like a paddle hitting an empty skull. Those are really ugly waters. The river near my farm is the Embarass (om-b'ra) meaning in French a snag or tangle of trees that will really tip your canoe if you let it when you are paddling down stream in a spring freshet.
