There was some debate over whether the castle’s name was really Auuuuuuugh, or whether the guy “died while carving it” (or was taking dictation to the point of faithfully presenting the strangled death-cry as the very last word of Joseph of Arimathea), but regardless, a similar quandary presented itself to my mind upon reading of the signage difficulty of a particular Massachusetts lake.
The lake is called by its Indian name “Chargoggagoggmanchauggagoggchaubunagungamaugg,” but I cannot say for sure whether that was indeed its original name or if the native relaying it to the English had drowned while telling it.
