Yes, I probably will. A page I read says that each tribe's territory had a
main village, and then several temporary sites. The permanent settlements
will become the towns.

Some Montreianized names are:

Wacharon > Uacharón
Kalintaruk > Calintaruc (I'm not too sure about the sounds of Ohlone (the
name for the language), so it can also be: Calendaruc (as the Spanish
called it)
Kakontaruc > Cacontaruc
Sirkhintaruc > Sarquentaruc
Ekgiagan > Eguiagan

Here's some neat-o linguistic info about the names above:

Apparently in Ohlone, the names above have a couple of suffixes.
-ta means place of.
-ruc means village or home.

In the Example of Kalintaruc, Kalin means ocean, -ta place of, and -ruc
village, so Kalintaruc means (Place of) Ocean Village. This town was
situated right at the mouth of the nearby salinas river which empties into
the sea.

Yes. I hope they can find that Rumsien dictionary. Anyway, i've found a
few words, mostly for animals in Rumsien:

-  Coyote: tjatjakiyamatchan /tSatSakijamatSan/ (i think).
- Chicken hawk: kakon
- Ocean: kalin

Montreianized:

- Chachakíamachan
- Cacón
- Calin
