Note 5 — Chapter VII · SMOHALLA AND HIS DOCTRINE

Bureau of Ethnology alphabet. Like most Indian names, it appears in a variety of forms. Other spellings are: Imoholla (misprint), Smawhola, Smohaller, Smohallow, Smohanlee, Smohollie, Smokeholer, Smokeller, Smuxale, Snohollie, Snooholler, Somahallie. As the correct pronunciation is difficult to English speakers, I have chosen the popular form. In one official report he is mentioned as “Smohaller, or Big-talk, or Four Mountains;” in another, probably by misprint, as “Big talk on four mountains.”
