Mosopeleacipi

Mosopeleacipi, “river of the Mosopelea,” was a Miami-Illinois name for the Ohio. The great river receives waters from the wooded Appalachian country before flowing west to the Mississippi. Indigenous peoples used its valley as a route for travel and trade over many generations. The name passed through other languages in shortened forms, becoming Pelisipi or Pellissippi; it was also applied to the Clinch River, which runs through the mountain country of Virginia and Tennessee.
