Luckily for us this oed entry was updated in march 2010 and so we can see-which we otherwise wouldn 't have been able to-that the word powwow comes from a proto-algonquian base of two words pawe wa and means " he who dreams . "

可喜的是，oed在2010年3月更新了这一条目，它告诉我们，powwow来自原始阿尔贡金语（译注2），有两个词根pawe和wa，意思是“做梦的人”。
