Teteachkie, the name of a tract granted to Francis Salisbury and described as "A place lying upon Katskill Creek," has not been located. Teke, from Teke-ne, may stand for "Wood," and -achkie stand for land -- a piece of woodland. Quachanock, modern Qua jack, the name of a place described as the west boundary of a tract sold to Jacob Lockerman, does not mean "Christian corn-lands," as locally interpreted, although the Indians may have called "the five great plains" the "Christian cornland" after their occupation by the purchasers. The original word was probably Pahquioke, or Pohqu'un-auke {-ock), "Cleared, opened land," or land from which the trees and bushes had been removed to fit it for cultivation.

Wachachkeek, of record as the name of the first of "five great flats, with the woodland around them," wMdi were included in the Catskill Patent of 35,000 acres, is otherwise written Machachkeek. It is described as "lying on both sides of Catskil Creek," and is claimed to be known as a place west of the village of Leeds. Dr. O'Callaghan interpreted the name from Wachcu, "hill," and -keag, "land" or place -- "Hill country," and Dr. Trumbull gave the same meaning from Wadchuauke. The orthography of the second form, however, is probably the most correct -- Machachkeek -- ^which pretty surely, from the locative, stands for Maskckeck, meaning, "Marsh or wet meadow." Wichquanachtekok, the name of the second flat, is no doubt an equivalent of Wequan-achten-uk, "At the end of the hill," from JVequa, "the end" ; -achtene, "hill" or mountain, and -Cik, locative.
