___ COMMENTS___

Once again, Sherwin's collection of LENAPE words and their Old Norse meanings appear to guide us to a reasonable definition of a vocal stanza created over six centuries ago.

This ability to define what was said over six centuries ago is evidence that:

1. Sherwin's efforts to collect and understand the LENAPE language yielded a valid data set.

2.  The LENAPE History is a valid history.

This stanza and the previous stanza describe the LENAPE coming to the place of a small waterfall (Minnehaha) and the growing of a bumper crop of corn.

These events happened just after the start of the Little Ice Age (AD 1370 - 71).  Evidence from six centuries ago still exists in place names:  Whet Stone,  Traverse, Vebelen, Wilmot, Kampeska, and others.

You may choose to believe: 1) that the LENAPE attempted to record a history six centuries ago, or 2) you may believe the English did not reset American history to describe a NEW WORLD after they invaded and suppressed the people on shore, who were speaking Norse.

The real crux of the matter is: were the Americans speaking Norse or were they  not speaking Norse?

The evidence is that the Americans were speaking Norse.
