Why are those falls called Niagara? If you enjoyed <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/crosswords/crossword-blog/2019/aug/05/crossword-roundup-words-mean-something-boring-kimono-bastille">our look at the boring etymologies of “kimono” and “bastille”</a>, you’ll like this answer from <a href="https://www.niagarafallstourism.com/blog/where-does-the-word-niagara-come-from/#:~:text=It%20is%20believed%20that%20Niagara,Lakes%20Erie%20to%20Lake%20Ontario.">the waterfalls’ tourist site</a>:</p> <blockquote class="quoted"> <p>It is believed that <em>Niagara</em> is a derivative of the Iroquoian word, “Onguiaahra”, which was anglicised by missionaries. The name appears on maps as early as 1641. The generally accepted meaning is “The Strait”. Some think it was derived from the narrow waterway that flows north from Lake Erie to Lake Ontario. Early maps do not refer to the Niagara River but the Niagara Strait, which is more correct.</p> </blockquote> <p>Likewise the names of most of the Great Lakes, also from Indigenous American languages. Lake Erie translates to “lake of the long tail”, from the Iroquoian. Lake Superior gets its name from the French meaning of <em>supérieur</em>, “upper”, since it lies north of the others, and the word also applies to the Ojibwe name for it: “great sea”?. The Huron tribe gave their name to Lake Huron, but they themselves simply called it <em>karegnondi</em>, or “freshwater sea” – similar to Lakes Michigan (<em>mishi-gami</em>, meaning “large lake”) and Ontario (“lake of shining waters”). In other words, many of their names can be translated as “Lake Lake”. The same does not go for “Canada”, which means “village”.</p> <p>Unusually, none of this brings us to the subject of our next challenge. This train of thought is derailed entirely by <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/crosswords/crossword-blog/2023/mar/06/meet-the-crossword-setter-lady-labyrinth-i-challenge-solvers-to-look-at-words-in-new-ways">the arrival last week of AI-generated setter Lady Labyrinth</a>.

Now, reader: how would you clue CURDY?</p> <h2>Cluing competition</h2> <p>Many thanks for <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/crosswords/crossword-blog/2023/feb/27/crossword-roundup-in-which-we-reclaim-the-word-mob">your clues for HORDE</a>. Not a great deal of audacity on display, although, for a word that can be clued so tersely, I appreciated Montano taking a different tack in the interests of topicality: “Oh dear! Anderson’s leading edge silenced Barmy Army”.</p> <p>The runners-up are Albery’s snappy “Crowd abhor denim trousers” and PeterMooreFuller’s “Drove back from Norwich towing old red convertible”. The winner is my favourite of the <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/crosswords/crossword-blog/2011/oct/06/cryptic-crosswords-beginners-hidden-answers">hiddens</a>, “Army involved in death or destruction”.</p> <p>Kludos to Chris Miller.
