Thank you for that. I learned a different meaning but prefer your information.

From what I could find googling...
tis s gwa = bird
tsikwâ'yä = sparrow
si'qua = hog or sometimes opossum
They all seem similar to Sequoyah to me, as someone who doesn't speak Cherokee. I don't know if the original meaning is known definitively.
Wikipedia says "Gi sqwa ya (there is a bird inside)" is what one of his descendants said his birth name was, while telling the story New Chloe mentioned.
