HONC![edit]

while the etymology deriving the name of the river from honc "goose" is funny, are we really sure that *most scholars* are lining up on this side? Anything is possible in a language where animal names are derived from verbs, but a quick look suggested no such word exists in the better-recorded languages of the area. Personally, I'd always assumed that the name of the river was just another form of the word for skunk, which is səɡɔ̃ɡʷ in Abenaki. —Soap— 18:14, 21 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
