Me-sho-dac peak, in the town of Nassau, is from mishadchii, 

 great mountain. 



Nach-as-sick-qua-ack or Na-de-a-quick-quack in the Hoosick pat- 

 ent, an early name above Hoosick falls and on the stream. 



Ne-ga-gon-se, a place on the north line of Van Rensselaer's pat- 

 ent of 1630, and 3 miles above Petanock, 



Nip-mo-osh, a place in Pittstown in 1737. 



On-ti-ke-ho-mawck'was a village of Stockbridge Indians in the 

 town of Nassau, and it may have been named from their chief, 

 Keshom,awck. 



Pa-an-pa-ack, tield of corn, as usually defined, was on the site of 

 Troy, and included in the Van Rensselaer purchase of 1646. There 

 is nothing to support this definition, but the name may have been 

 corrupted to form pankoukat, a fording place. 



Pah-ha-hoke was a Stockbridge Indian name for Scaghticoke. 

 It may be from pahheau, he luait for him, and the locative, as a well 

 known rendezvous. A large oak there long bore the German name 

 of the council tree. 



Pan-hoo-sick lay north of Troy and in Van Rensselaer's purchase 

 of 1646. Part of the name has been retained. 



Pap-sie-ke-ne-kas was a tract near Semeerse, abbreviated from 

 the owner's name, Paep-Sikenekomtas. It suggests a name in East 

 Greenbush, but may be from paupakinasik, in the tzmlight. 



Pap-ska-nee was a large island belonging to East Greenbush, 

 and the name hardly differs from, the last. French says this was 

 also written Poepskenekoes and Papakenea. It is Popsheny on 

 Sauthier's map. 



Pat-ta-was-sa lake is in the town of Nassau. From puttahwhau, 

 taken in a trap. 



Per-i-go hill is mentioned by French in the town of Sand Lake. 



Pe-ta-nock was a mill stream opposite Albany, mentioned in Van 

 Rensselaer's patent. It was the south boundary of the tract called 

 Semesseerse. It may be derived from petau, a quiver, and the 

 locative. This, however, is from petau, to put something in, and 

 this may refer to something cast into the stream. 



Pe-tu-qua-poen, mentioned by French as an early name of Green- 

 bush, might have a similar origin in part ; but puttukqui, it is round.
