These are all related but individual languages, each with its own words for a chief.In Oneida the word for a chief is -hsʌnowanʌ- or thuwakwa·nʌ́ or -atlutanuˀn-In Cayuga a chief is hadigowanęs or hodiyanehsǫ or hoyanehIn Tuscarora (a later addition to the Iroquois League) a chief is rahgawahneh.The word Ife appears to refer to an ancient city in the African kingdom of Yoruba (part of Nigeria).
