My source for the French derivation of the word "Eskimo" [Esquimeaux]
is a combination of "common knowledge" in the Native American community
where I grew up (Oakland, Calif.) and what I was taught as a cultural
anthropology major at the University of Calif. in Berkeley (where I
later taught Native American Studies). I will, however, also
acknowledge that this was more than 40 years ago and I have no doubt
that the experts you cite have done their work well. Thank you for
sharing the information, Bronwen
