  the 
  flat 
  or 
  stone, 
  the 
  word 
  here 
  suggesting 
  the 
  latter. 
  The 
  same 
  

   stone 
  is 
  elsewhere 
  called 
  Acawaisic, 
  requiring 
  only 
  the 
  addition 
  of 
  

   an 
  initial 
  letter 
  to 
  make 
  it 
  identical 
  with 
  the 
  form 
  last 
  given. 
  

  

  Na-na-pen-a-he-kan, 
  a 
  stream 
  near 
  the

  on 
  a 
  map 
  of

  on

  is 
  the 
  same

  Mawanaquasick. 
  

  

  Nuh-pa, 
  one 
  of 
  the 
  three 
  flats, 
  was 
  also 
  called 
  Kichua 
  and 
  

   Kichpa. 
  It 
  may 
  be 
  from 
  nuppe, 
  water. 
  

  

  O-ya-tuck 
  or 
  Oyataak, 
  he 
  dzvells 
  at 
  the 
  river, 
  is 
  mentioned 
  in 
  the 
  

   New 
  York 
  Colonial 
  Laws 
  of 
  1723. 
  It 
  was 
  east 
  of 
  the 
  manor 
  and 
  

   the

  to 
  work

  the 
  road.

   The 
  name 
  alludes 
  to 
  stones. 
  

  

  Patt-kook 
  was 
  a 
  tract 
  mentioned 
  in 
  1685. 
  Ruttenber 
  said: 
  " 
  The 
  

   village 
  of 
  Claverack 
  was 
  5 
  miles 
  from 
  the 
  Hudson. 
  It 
  was 
  known 
  

   by 
  the 
  Indians 
  name 
  of 
  Pottkoke." 
  

  

  Pom-pon-ick 
  creek 
  was 
  near 
  Kinderhook, 
  and 
  the 
  name 
  may 
  

   have 
  been 
  derived 
  from 
  pompuonk, 
  playing 
  or 
  recreation. 
  

  

  Quee-chy 
  postoflice. 
  The 
  name 
  seems 
  abbreviated 
  from 
  the 
  next. 
  

  

  Ouis-sich-kook, 
  a 
  small 
  creek 
  northeast 
  of

  Sa-as-ka-hamp-ka 
  or 
  Sackahampa 
  was 
  a 
  place 
  east 
  of 
  the 
  Hudson 
  

   and 
  opposite 
  Saugerties 
  creek 
  in 
  1683. 
  In 
  1684 
  it 
  was 
  written 
  

   Swaskahamuka. 
  The 
  map 
  called 
  it 
  a 
  dry 
  gully. 
  

  

  Sa-kah-qua, 
  Sahkaqua 
  and 
  Sakackqua 
  are 
  variations 
  of 
  the 
  name 
  

   of 
  the 
  eastern 
  angle 
  of 
  Livingston 
  manor. 
  A 
  large 
  pine 
  tree 
  was 
  

   marked 
  there, 
  and 
  this 
  was 
  about 
  2 
  miles 
  north 
  of 
  Acquasik, 
  the 
  

   Lig 
  rock. 
  It 
  was 
  a 
  flat 
  piece 
  of 
  land 
  near 
  " 
  five 
  linde 
  or 
  lime 
  trees." 
  

  

  Sank-he-nak 
  or 
  Roeloff 
  Jansen's 
  kill 
  in 
  1683. 
  This 
  may 
  be 
  from 
  

   sonkippog, 
  cool 
  water. 
  Rutenber 
  said 
  it 
  was 
  the 
  boundary 
  between 
  

   the 
  Mahicans 
  and 
  Wappingers, 
  bringing 
  a 
  change 
  in 
  geographical 
  

   names. 
  

  

  Scom-pa-muck 
  was 
  on 
  the 
  site 
  of 
  the 
  village 
  of 
  Ghent. 
  Accord- 
  

   ing 
  to 
  Schoolcraft 
  Scompomick 
  was 
  a 
  stream 
  and 
  valley 
  there. 
  

   Spafford 
  said 
  : 
  " 
  There 
  is 
  yet 
  in 
  some 
  use, 
  particularly 
  among 
  the 
  

   old 
  fashioned 
  Dutch 
  people, 
  a 
  very 
  odd 
  name 
  for 
  this 
  neighbor-
