Mash-antack-uk, Moh., was translated by Dr. Trumbull from Mish-untugh-et, Mass., " Place of much wood." Manna"dak5o is quoted as the Abn. word for "cedar;" Mishquazvtuck, Nar., "Red cedar." Mendntachk, "Swamp" (Len. Eng. Die), is explained by Rev. Anthony, "with trees meeting above." Menantac, "Spruce, cedar or pine swamp" (Zeisb.), from the kind of trees growing in the swamp, but obviously antac never described a swamp, or trees growing in swamps, without the prefix Men, Man, Me, etc. Keht-antak means a particularly large tree which probably served as a boundmark. It may be a question if the initial a in antak was not nasal, as in Abn., but there can be none in regard to the meaning of the suffix.

ON LONG ISLAND. ' 77

Quawnotiwock, is quoted in French's Gazetteer as the name of Great Pond; authority not cited. Prime (Hist. L. I.) wrote: "The Indian name of the pond is tmknown." The pond is two miles long. It is situate where the Montauk Peninsula attains its greatest width, and is the largest body of fresh water on the island. It would be correctly described b}^ Qitinne or Quazvnopaug, " Long pond," but certainly not by Quawnotiwock, the animate plural suffix -week, showing that it belonged to the people -- " People living on the Long River." ^ (See Quantuck and Connecticut.) Assup, given as the name of a neck of land -- " A tree marked X 'hard by the northward side of a cove of meadow" -- means "A cove." It is an equivalent of Aucup (Williams), "A little cove or creek." "Aspatuck river" is also of record here, and probably takes that name from a hill or height in proximity. "Aspatuck hill," New Millford, Conn. Shinnecock, now preserved as the name of an Indian village in the town of Southampton, on the east side of Shinnec'ock Bay, for many years in occupation by a remnant of the so called Shinnec'ock Indians who had taken on the habits and customs of European life, appears in its present form in Plymouth Records in 1637, in treaty association with the Massachusetts government.
