·    Stuart-ONojaw renders the name as ? Kaan Tijo (no attempt to read the initial part, except to note that the Colonial name for it was Ichcaansiho’; long-a in Kaan; and no glottal-stop at the end of Tijo) whereas the slide presented in AT-E1168-lecture11.t0:16:01-16:34 renders it as Ich Ka’n Tijo’ – i.e. it uses the Colonial pronunciation to guess at a reading for the first part; glottalized-a in Ka’n; and glottal-stop at the end of Tijo’).

·    If the reading Tijo’ (with glottal stop) is valid, it is still not clear to me why the scribe wrote i instead of o.
