   the 
  North 
  sea." 
  A 
  similar 
  name 
  belonged 
  to 
  Lake

   and 
  there 
  is 
  now 
  a 
  place 
  called 
  Hashamomuck 
  beach. 
  While

  for 
  strings 
  

   or 
  ropes, 
  ashap 
  was 
  also 
  used 
  for 
  a 
  fish 
  net, 
  and 
  thus, 
  in 
  conjunction 
  

   with 
  amaug, 
  fishing 
  place, 
  may 
  here 
  indicate 
  a 
  fishery 
  of 
  this 
  kind, 
  

   as

  as
