It's actually fairly typical of this area, the native cherokee language got twisted by the french (whose spelling is mind-altering) then absorbed again by the illiterate decendants of the british, who've never had a good culture of spelling, even with Ben Johnson on their side, the word changed again through local accents and when it eventually got written down... we get Arkansas.
We also have a town called Petit Jean, where the first word is pronounced as the french would, and the second pronounced like half a pair of levis.
You have to talk to the locals to find out how anything is said around here.
If I had a better grasp of their alphabet that's exactly how I'd spend my free time, but another alphabet at this point might totally ruin me for reading english.
