I have a copy of the Ojibway Language word list and it shows the meaniong of "woman" as Ikway and "women" in Ojibway is Ikwaywug.

Yes, but I believe in a womans native name it comes in as kwe (at the end of the name) or a variation of that...I know a couple of people who speak Ojibway and have native names given to them by their clans. The three woman I know have "kwe" at the end of their native name and two of them told me that it meant "woman". I just didn't have the time to verify before I posted the last message, hence the statement that I had very limited knowledge of my own about the language. When I have a few moments, I will call/email one of the the ladies to verifty cuz now I want to know for sure...ya got me doubtin' myself now :o). Kathleen Bazinau
