 The Spanish "Gua" is the equivalent of the Creek "wa", and as the Creek alphabet does not exhibit an "R" sound, the second element "cara" would have been pronounced "kala" by the Creeks.The Creek voiceless "L" is always substituted for the Spanish "R".Thus the word "Guacara" was pronounced "Wakala" by the Seminoles who are Muskhogean in their origin and language.
