Notes on Meaning

"Onega" functions almost exclusively as a proper noun (a name) for this specific lake. It is not used with an article ("the") when standing alone as the subject, similar to other lake names like "Michigan" or "Victoria." However, when used with the word "Lake" ("Lake Onega"), it follows the standard rules for that compound noun. It does not have other general meanings in English.
