^ The word Chippe or Shappa, means not only separate, "The separate place," but was employed to describe a future condition -- Chepeck, the dead. As an adjective, Chippe (El.) signilies separated, set apart. Chepiohkomuk, the place of separation. The same word was used for ' ghost,' ' spectre,' 'evil spirit.' (Trumbull.) The corresponding Delaware word was Tschipey. It is not presumed that the word was made use of here in any other sense than its literal application, "A separate place." Bolton assigns the name to a Laurel Swamp, but with doubtful correctness.

NAMES ON THE EAST FROM MANHATTAN NORTH. 33

Quarepos, of record as the name of the district of country called by the English "White Plains," from the primary prevalence tliere of white balsam (Dr. O'Callaghan), seems to have been the name of the lake now known as St. Mary's. Qiiar is a form of Qiiin, Oitan, etc., meaning "Long," and pos stands for pog or pang, meaning "Pond." The name is met in Oitiii'e-paug, "Long Pond." The pond lies along the east border of the town of White Plains. Peningo, the point or neck of land forming the southeastern extremity of the town of Rye,^ was interpreted by Dr. Bolton, with doubtful correctness: "From Points, an Indian chief." The neck is some nine miles long by about two miles broad and seems to have been primarily a region of ridges and swamps. Apanammis, Cal. N. Y, Land Papers ; Apauamis and Apauamin, Col. Hist. N. Y. : Apawammeis, Apawaniis, Apawqunamis, Epawames, local and Conn. Records, is given as the name of Budd's Neck, between Mamaroneck River and Blind Brook, Westchester County. Dr. Trumbull passed t'he name without explanation. Tt is written as the name of a boundmark. Mochquams and Moagunanes are record forms of the name of Blind Brook, one of the bouudar\' streams of the tract called Penningo, which is described as lying "between Blind Brook and Byram River." (See Armonck.) Magopson and Mangopson are orthograpl-iies of the name given as that of De Lancey's Neck, described as "The great neck." (See Waumaniuck.) The dialect spoken in eastern Westchester seems to have been Quiripi (or Quininipiac), which prevailed near the Sound from New Haven west.
