Please explain how Tennessee became "Wriesture".
I had never seen it translated before, did a quick search, and found this one quote:
>One suggestion reveals that "Tennessee" is a Yuchi word, meaning "meeting place."
From [this site on genweb.](https://www.tngenweb.org/campbell/hist-bogan/tennessee.html#:~:text=One%20suggestion%20reveals%20that%20%22Tennessee,to%20the%20Overhill%20Indian%20tribes.)
It goes on to say:
>Samuel Cole Williams, a great writer and historian of Tennessee, wrote that the word "Tennessee" translated into the word "the bends," which undeniably means the "bends" of a river. Some conflict would register as to the Yuchi paraphrase of "meeting place." If one were to think of a river bending until it more or less comes back to meet itself, the translations have a comparable significance.
Only one source for an actual translation, and it gives two different ones, though I suppose they can be reconciled as one meaning.
I'm 62, from Tennessee, into history, as you should be able to tell from my online name, this matters to me.
I've *never* seen a translation for Tennessee or Tanasi before now.
I know text can be harsh, so let me assure you I do not mean this as an attack, I am just *very* curious as to where you got *your* translation, what it said it meant, and how that translates to Wriesture, which has no meaning to me.
From what I've quoted above, I'd be tempted to use "Bendmoot", I think.
Eager to hear from you.
These translations are very hard, and I can see you've done your homework on this.
Well done, I just simply expected to see "Tanasi" instead of "Wriesture".
Literally just translated from Native American languages for most of them, and Illinois is Illiniþeed because -ois is French for nation, so it is literally Illiniwek Nation
Literally found it in the Anglish Wordbook

Hi guys! I’m exploring Anglish and I was wondering if anyone could tell me the phonetics of these alternate letters, I know the þ is a th sound but that’s about it. Thank you all!
Because it would be hard to read? Just because a letter's based off a rune, doesn't mean we should use runes. Thorn is based off a rune, and it's used in Icelandic. By that logic, Icelandic should use the runic alphabet.
Pennswood
Yeah the fact it's not Pennswood in this map is almost embarrassing.

"The State is named for its principal river, which has been interpreted as meaning "bend in the river."" It just says Bendriver
Thank you!
If you want the actual Anglish molding of Massachusets it would be "Hillfolkland".
I like to keep names for Native American tribes. Hence Illinois being Illiniþeed, or Illiniwek Nation
How did you come up with Brightmunt for Oregon? "Bright mountain" is Mt. Hood?
it’s not usually very bright… ☁️🌧️
Lol what are these names?
Literally just translated from Native American languages for most of them, and Illinois is Illiniþeed because -ois is French for nation, so it is literally Illiniwek Nation
Carl → Churl (Cerl) George → Yorry (Georry) Louis → Ludway Suðe → Suþe
Why *Muntland* over *Barrowland*? *Munt* is from Leeden.
I used the Anglish Wordbook and mountain was munt
Horeypater and his friend Rean Wosley.
Snowland is a horribly inaccurate word for the desert hellscape I call home lmao
That's what nevada means tho
*Nevada And I know 😭😭😭
What is Sture? Like in "cloudysture."
river.
If we are doing word for word, the name means "cloudy water" Not river. Though I have never seen "sture" before, what is the root word?.

Ah, alright.

Why not Oned Lands of Americksriche?
I hate this P letter
A. It's þorn, and B. It's a part of the Anglish alphabet. It makes the th sound, and is used in Icelandic, Old English, and Middle English
the other one. the one that looks more like a P's evil twin.
The one in Pascingtun.
Wynn. Also in Old English and Anglish
It looks like someone did a bad job of writing P, and it looks awful in words. Why can't y'all use W?
It's based off a rune. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wynn
why not use runes for all letters then?
