I use Esbypedia as he actually calculates and such. However, I also do not believe in the Missouri river as I have never seen it. Despite many times driving around and through Missouri it is not there. I have seen the Mississippi many times and even the Ohio in Indiana, but never the Missouri. I will be eyeball to mud with the Mississippi next month and will look for clues.fmcgmccllchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00184250774341700041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2182961846257364897.post-51692621118988287542012-01-27T17:56:42.184-06:002012-01-27T17:56:42.184-06:00I am pretty sure, by paleo-onomonapoetic-extrapola...I am pretty sure, by paleo-onomonapoetic-extrapolation of bison bison noises, that mastodons drinking out of the proto-Missouri/Mississippi river would have made a "glurgle" snort slurp type noise, so maybe that was the first name of all rivers everywhere, even the red planet Kvarska-ooo (Mars).esbbostonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09946279220170973147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2182961846257364897.post-76855215392605846232012-01-27T16:45:42.767-06:002012-01-27T16:45:42.767-06:00You are not allowed to change the name.
Mississip...You are not allowed to change the name.<br /><br />Mississippi in my language, and my folks did not live anywhere near this river, means a lot of water, i.e. missi means much or a lot and nippi is water. so we would have called it missinippi in cree, but since the folks who gave it the name told some explorer that they would call it the mississippi. <br /><br />Indian folks down the river near where US grant starved out the southern army in some place, i forget the name, call the river in their language the Old Man. <br /><br />I think you might call it the caldo de agua, or water soup, something POWs got during the war.<br /><br />We never heard of the Missouri back where I am from, I.e., Alberta Canada and as far as we are concerned it does not exist.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2182961846257364897.post-74040216911966191652012-01-27T14:09:13.413-06:002012-01-27T14:09:13.413-06:00I think you might have a problem with Google, as I...I think you might have a problem with Google, as I remember rivers Gurgle. I would not be surprised to find that a googling river is not the same length as a gurgling river. and after all How long is water sounds like that old saying How long is a piece of string. I think I prefer the new saying of How long is water Well done Mr ESB you have changed the Engish language....Rob Z Toborhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03570498194207996145noreply@blogger.com
