Cosumnes River
The Cosumnes River (often pronounced ) is a river in northern California in the United States. It rises on the western slope of the Sierra Nevada and flows approximately 〔 into the Central Valley, emptying into the Mokelumne River in the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta. Many locals pronounce the river "kunsumniss," inserting an "n" where there is none in the first syllable. Given the etymological similarity between "Cosumnes," on the one hand, and "Tuolumne" and "Mokelumne" on the other (see next paragraph), a case can be made that the most accurate historical pronunciation is "kasumme," since the "n" is essentially silent in the pronunciation of both "Tuolumne" and Mokelumne," and there is no "s" or "z" sound at the end of those names.
==Name==
The Cosumnes River is thought to have been named as the Mokelumne and Tuolumne rivers were, using the "-umne" suffix meaning "people of". The prefix is derived from the Miwok word "kosum" meaning "salmon".〔(California Place Names of Indian Origins ). 1916. University of California Publications in American Archaeology and Ethnology, 12(2): 31-69, p.41〕 Chinook Salmon runs are rarely, if ever, seen above Rancho Murieta as a result of diversions in the area.
Cosumnes River College, a two year community college located in the southern part of Sacramento, CA is named after the river being located only a few miles off campus. CRC's mascot is the Hawk due to the number of hawks that inhabit the river area.
