“A French priest came to an Indian town called Ongniaahra, ‘point of
land cut in two’, because it stood near Lake Ontario, where a wide
river cut through the land. Farther up this river, the Indians said,
was a waterfall; but the priest did not go to look at it, probably
thinking all waterfalls were alike. The French remembered the name of
that town, and called the river after it, and later the waterfall. But
they twisted it on their tongues until it became Ongiara and finally
Niagara.”
- Names on the Land, 1967, by George R. Stewart

Great, Jere. Simple, understated, and expansive and complex all at the same time.
