"Ouachita".  Somewhat akin to the French spelling of "Ouisconsin".

Another somewhat humorous sequence of road signs in Oklahoma occurs east
of OKC eastbound on I-40, where one first passes a sign for the town of
Nowata, then a few miles farther east is Lake Eufaula, and on the east
side of that lake there is a sign for the town of Lotawatah.
