Panaca the name "Panaca" comes from the Southern Paiute word Pan-nuk-ker, which means "metal, money, wealth".
Ohio.
"The "Muskingum River" was the channel by which eastern Ohio was penetrated, mainly by the Delawares during the first half of the eighteenth century, and to a much lesser extent by bands of Shawnees preceding the Delawares by a few decades. In its present form "Muskingum", this river name has been in use among both Indians and whites for more than two centuries as another one of those terms of Indian-white travel-and-trade lingo, such as "Ohio", "Scioto", and others.
Whatever its aboriginal form may have been, "Muskingum" as a river name was fragmentary, requiring in any Indian language the addition of a term signifying 'river.' Zeisberger and other Moravian missioners spelled it Muskingum, as we do today, as well as "Mushkingum" (transliterated from German-based "Muschkingum"). Most likely, both of these spellings represented two different pronunciations current among the Delawares. Zeisberger's definition of the name, based on a combination of "moos", 'an elk,' and "wuschking", 'eye' (in his own spelling), meaning 'elk's eye,' looks like a folk etymology resting on the similarity in sound between "Muschkingum" and "wuschgingunk" (Zeisberger's spelling), defined as 'on or in the eye.'
John Johnston states that 'Muskingum is a Delaware word, and means a town on the river side.' This is partly correct and partly wrong. "Muskingum" (or "Mushkingum", for that matter) indeed is a Delaware word, but by no stretch of the imagination does it mean 'a town on the river side.' It is certain though that it named a town on the river side. Possibly this town was an old Shawnee settlement whose name the nearby Delawares adapted to their own tongue in the form of "*M'shkiink'm (Mushkinkum)", and by force of folk etymology understood it to mean 'elk's eye.' It appears quite probable that the original Shawnee place name as assimilated by the Delawares, may have been "*m'shkeenkw/aam(-)", a Shawnee term combining "*m'shkeenkw-", 'swampy,' with "-aam", a stem approximately
denoting '(land, soil, etc.) being as indicated,' and invariably followed by "-'chki" or some other adverbial determinant, with the composite meaning, 'where the land is swampy, soggy.' Where this place was located, it is impossible to ascertain.
Evidently, in their assimilation of this Shawnee place name, the Delawares, disregarding as unessential the final locative affix, were solely concerned with "*M'shkeenkwaam", from which it was but a small step, over intermediary "*M'shkeenk'm", to folk-etymologically conditioned "*Muushkiink'm ( Mushkinkum; Muskingum)".</ref> taken to mean 'elk's eye' in Lenape by folk etymology, as if < "mus" 'elk' + "wəshkinkw" 'its eye'.
