Neshaw. A local word for eel in Mas- 

 sachusetts. Trumbull (Natick Diet., 80, 

 1903) says: "The name of 'neshaw eel' 

 is yet retained by the fishermen of Mar- 

 thas Vineyard and perhaps elsewhere 

 in Massachusetts for the silver eel {Mu- 

 rsena argeiiiea) ." The derivation is from 

 Narraganset neexJiauog 'eels', literally 

 'pairers,' from nees 'two', anog 'they go 

 to'. This Algonquian name, Trumbull 

 thinks, may have belonged originally to 

 the lamprey. (a. f. c. )
