(though the reference is to 'clay'). The Ohio site also mentions that it could be a Native American term for 'fallen timbers' or 'overgrown with brush', or French 'at the (salt) lick'. It could have been the French term la glace [*aux glaces?], which means 'mirror', or 'ice' ['at the ices']. There is something to be said for the unattested eau glaise 'clay water', like attested terre glaise 'clay soil', but both Ramsey and Stewart agree that Auglaize (and variants, implying "*aux glaises") is American French for 'at the lick(s)', literally 'at the clays', where wild beasts came to lick salt and minerals from the soil, and fulfilling the lacuna in standard French for a "salt lick." The spelling "glaize" is archaic (as in Cotgrave's French-English dictionary of 1611). In addition, in Arkansas there is a creek and mountain Glazypeau, from French glaise à Paul 'Paul's lick'. The assumed indigenous American (Algonquian) "'fallen timbers' or 'overgrown with brush'" has no support without any attested etymons supplied and would not match phonetically in the case of Shawnee. The GNIS cites several variant names for Grandglaize Creek, including: Auglaize Creek, Dry Glaize Creek, Glaize Creek, Glaze Creek, Grand Anglais Creek, Grand Anglaise Creek, Grand Auglaise River, Grand Auglaize Creek, and Wet Glaize Creek.
