192 THE ROYAL SOCIETY OF CANADA 
Transactions, V, 1899, 1, 315), for both the form of the name, and the location 
unite to confirm this identification. I find it also as KICHIBOUAK, a river seven 
leagues to the eastward of Baie Verte, in a document of 1747 in the Parkman MS. 
in the Library of the Massachusetts Historical Society. 
Apparently KESOOSKOWOSTOOGWEK’, the Micmac name for Little River, 
a branch of Sheet Harbour, Nova Scotia, (Rand, Reader, 92, and Micmac-English 
Dictionary, 183), meaning FLOWING AMONG HEMLOCK BOUGHS, is only a 
variant of KESOOSKIBOOGWEK; -but the details require further study. 
MOOSKUDOBOOGWEK, the aboriginal form of Musquodoboit, a river east of 
Halifax in Nova Scotia; given by Rand as MOOSUKDOBOOGWEK, meaning 
FLOWING OUT SQUARE AND PLUMP (Reader, 92), though in another place 
(Micmac-English Dictionary, 186) he gives it as MUSKOODEBOOGWEK, meaning 
ROLLING OUT IN FOAM. The termination BOOGWEK undoubtedly means 
TIDEWAY, as explained above (page 180), but the earlier roots are obscure, and 
must receive further study; and I only mention the name here in order to complete 
the series having the termination BOOGWEK. 
OKOBOOGWEK, the Miemac name for New Harbour, Nova Scotia, given by 
Rand as OKOBOOGWEK, meaning FOAMING (query FLOWING?) WITH DIS- 
COLOURED FOAM (Reader, 94, Micmac-English Dictionary, 187). The roots are 
plain. There is a word COGUN, apparently abbreviated as a prefix to OK, meaning 
SCUM, in the sense of FOAM (Rand, Reader, 64); the O is of course the usual separa- 
tive syllable for ease of pronunciation between the roots; while the BOOGWEK 
means TIDEWAY, as explained above (page 180). Hence the word should be OK-O- 
BOOGWEK, meaning FOAM-TIDEWAY (RIVER), or, better, RIVER OF THE 
FOAMY TIDEWAY. I do not know the place myself, but I predict the name 
will be found appropriate, the foam coming from the rapid part of the river. A 
closely-allied name is applied to Eel River in Restigouche County, New Brunswick, 
as I know for myself, and as Rand ce nfirms (Reader, 87); but its discussion will 
follow later. 
NENADOOGW EBOOGWEK, a river between Truro and Hantsport, according 
to Rand (Micmac-English Dictionary, 186), further particulars still to be determined, 
but evidently belonging with the present series of TIDEWAY rivers. 
It is also possible, or probable, as I shall show later in this series, that the name 
Kennebecasis contains the same root in the diminutive form BOOGWESIS. Also 
Kibougouck, the Miemac name of the southern branch of the Shediac River (these 
Transactions, XII, 1906, ii, 48) may be really KIBOUGOUEK, and hence one of 
this series. 
In connection with this word BOOGWEK, it is worth noting that Rand gives 
ELMIBOOGWEK, as a common noun meaning A CREEK, presumably a salt water 
creek (Micmic-English Dictionary 46), for the word seems identical with ELUM- 
BOOGWEK, meaning THE BAY EXTENDS BACK (op. cit. 49). Also he gives 
NIKTOOEBOOGWEK, THE FORKS OF A RIVER, of course a tidal river (op. 
Cut NAGY: 
WINEBOOGWECHK, the Miemac name for Jeddore, Nova Scotia, given by 
and as WINEBOOGWECHK’, meaning ROUGHLY-FLOWING (Reader, 90); and 
he gives it also as WINEPUGWEIC, meaning ROUGH, EVIL-FLOWING (Micmac- 
English Dictionary, 192). The roots of the words are perfectly plain:—WIN means 
ROUGH, as fully explained already under Nepisiguit (page 176); the Eis merely 
separative between the roots for ease of pronounciation; BOOGWECHK is merely 
the BOOGWEK, meaning TIDEWAY as described above (page 180), in combination
