Abstract
Abstract The name of the Inyo Mountains and of Inyo County in California was reported in 1860 to mean ‘dwelling place of a great spirit’ in a local Indian language, but this etymology was later disputed. It is now confirmed that the name is derived from Panamint iuml;niuml;-yun ‘ ‘it's dangerous’.
