Seems like it depends very much upon just where one goes to try to find
info such as the above. "sabe" is a spanish word meaning "know" or
"knows" depending on the exact usage.

There are quite a few "meanings" for Kemo - none verifiable.
I seriously doubt that is had anything to do with the Spanish language.

Now Tonto may be a different thing. There is an National Forest in
Arizona and a Tonto National Monument also in Arizona.

Go here for a lot of history on the Lone Ranger.
