Adrianvs 10 Posted January 9, 2004 Share Posted January 9, 2004 My vigil honor name is Klamachpin Elitehat which translates to "Quiet As He Thinks."

WAKWIB 107 Posted January 9, 2004 Share Posted January 9, 2004 My Mic-O-Say tribal name is Sachem Sunlit Valley (Sachem is the "job title" of my present tribal council position). I chose the name Sunlit Valley in reference to the Osage River Valley where the Bartle Scout Reservation is situated. An interesting tradition in MOS at Bartle is for family members to use variations of the same name such as just for example: Big Brown Bear Little Brown Bear Least Brown Bear Son of Little Brown Bear.....You get the idea. If my son is called into the Tribe this summer he is thinking of taking the name "Reflection Of Sunlit Valley". Link to post Share on other sites
Proud Eagle 13 Posted January 9, 2004 Share Posted January 9, 2004 Wulelensin Woapalanne is the name I was given with the Vigil Honor. It translates to Proud Eagle. I currently hold my lodge's copy of "A Lenape-English Dictionary". If anyone is in need of assistance with small scale translations I would be glad to assist.

scoutldr 726 Posted January 9, 2004 Share Posted January 9, 2004 An interesting historical tidbit: The Delaware tribe were indigenous to the southeastern Pennsylvania area (home of Treasure Island Scout Reservation where OA was founded). The German settlers of Pennsylvania (my ancestors) were the first to write down the language of the Delaware, or "Lenni Lenape", and they spelled the words phonetically...in German. If you have a scout taking German, ask him to pronounce the Lenni Lenape word as if it were a German word...and it will be pretty close. FWIW Link to post Share on other sites

garrett 10 Posted January 8, 2006 Share Posted January 8, 2006 actually, you wouldn't want to pronounce everything in in lenape as if it were german. German pronounes this letter "w" as if it were a "v." In lenape "w" has a differnt sound. Run your tongue along the roof of your mouth, notice that you feelthe hard palate then the soft palate; the distinction will be important in a minute. When we pronounce "y" in english, we raise the back of the tongue towards the hard palate and keep our lips unrounded, when we pronounce "w" we raise a point further back on the tongue towards the soft palate and round our lips. The ;etter "w" in lenape indicates a sound made by raising the back part of the tongue towards the soft palate to make a "w" in english, but the lips are kept very wide open as if making the english "y." The lenapre "ch" is the same as the famous german sound. Raise the back of the tongue towards the soft palate once again, this time as if making the english "k." Don't close the gap between tongue and palate quite all the way, allow enogh room to let air get out and create friction. The last pronunciation oddity in lenape is "L." It's the same as the "ll" in Welsh. Put the tounge in the posistion to make an english "l" and just breath out, don't let your vocal chords start to vibrate as they do during the english "l." Just make the "l" position and say the english sound "h." Link to post Share on other sites
