This was taken into the Ojibwe language, perhaps in the Ottawa dialect, and modified into ilinwe· (pluralized as ilinwe·k).

The routing of US 24 in Illinois is largely unchanged from 1926. Prior to 1937, US 24 ran through Canton on various roads; afterward, it was relocated southeast, closely paralleling the Illinois River. In 1995, a bypass around Washington was completed. The old US 24 became an extension of IL 8 to near Eureka.
