Kiskitomas. A name for the walnut or 

 hickory nut, formerly common in New 

 Jersey and Long Island. The word has 

 been variously spelled kisky thomas, kis- 

 katomag, kiskylorti, cnscatomin, etc. The Ca- 

 nadian French name is noyer tendre ( 'soft- 

 nut' ), referring to the shell of the nut; and 

 J. H. Trumbull suggests connecting the 

 word with the Abnaki kouskadamen, 

 'crack with the teeth' (given by Rasle), 

 cognate with the Chippewa kislikiliidan, 

 ' tear with the.teeth,' the Cree kiskigikateu; 

 'it is cut or gnawed.' The terms kigky 

 thomas and kisky thomnut are folk-ety- 

 mological corruptions of this Algonquian 

 word. (a. F. c. )
