| Gatschet, A.S. ca. 1895 | ""muskishiku=mizhi sipiwi" means "buckeye creek" of the Cherokee Nation; "mu's'=ki'shi=mkumizhi tawani" means "buckeye tree", a tree frequently found in Kansas but not occurring in the eastern parts of the Indian Territory". |

| Gonella, M.P 2003-2006 | The Ohio buckeye (Aesculus glabra) is found in both eastern and western Myaamia lands; the yellow buckeye (Aesculus flava) only in eastern Myaamia lands and not prevalent there. Therefore miihsihkiišikomiši probably refers to both species, but is mostly used for the Ohio buckeye. |
