Kanawha River.

I have a question.
How do you pronounce 'Kanawha'.
I pronounce it Kan-A'-wha. Could be Kan-a-Wha'.

Just curious.

No one out side of West Virginia ever says Kanawha the correct way. I’d have to pronounce it to you better than I could type it here

This is best I can do “ kuh-NAW “

I’ve always pronounced it Ka- Naw- Ah!

I believe it’s an Algonquin word.
