Mombasha, Mombashes, etc., the name of a small lake in Southfield, Orange County, is presumed to be a corruption of _M'biìsses_ (Zeisb.), "Small lake or pond," "Small water-place." The apostrophe indicates a sound produced with the lips closed, readily pronouncing _o_ (Mom). Charles Clinton, in his survey of the Cheesec-ook Patent in 1735, wrote Mount-Basha. Mombasa is an Arabic name for a coral island on the east coast of Africa. It may have been introduced here as the sound of the Indian name. Wesegrorap, Wesegroraep, Wassagroras, given as the name of "A barren plain," in the Kakiate Patent, is probably from Wisachgan, "Bitter," sad, distressing, pitiable. Ziesberger wrote, "Wisachgak, Black oak," the bark of which is bitter and astringent. A black oak tree on "the west-southwest side" of the plain may have given name to the plain. Narranshaw, Nanaschunck, etc., a place so called in the Kakiate Patent boundary, is probably a corruption of Van der Donck's _Narratschæn,_ "A promontory" or high point. (See Nyack-on-the-Hudson.) Kakiate, the name of patented lands in Rockland County, is from Dutch _Kijkuit,_ meaning "Look out," or "Place of observation, as a tower, hill," etc. The highest hill in Westchester County bears the same name in _Kakcout,_ and _Kaykuit_ is the name of a hill in Kingston, Ulster County. The tract to which the name was extended in Rockland County is described, "Commonly called by the Indians _Kackyachteweke,_ on a neck of land which runs under a great hill, bounded on the north by a creek called Sheamaweck or Peasqua." Hackyackawack is another orthography. The name seems to be from _Schach-achgeu-ackey,_ meaning "Straight land," "Straight along," (Zeisb.); _i. e._ direct, as "A neck of land"--"A pass between mountains," or, as the description reads, "A neck of land which runs under a great hill." Compare Cal. N. Y. Land Papers, 48, 183, etc. Torne, the name of a high hill which forms a conspicuous object in the Ramapo Valley, is from Dutch _Torenherg,_ "A tower or turret, a high pointed hill, a pinnacle." (Prov. Eng.) The hill is claimed to have been the northwest boundmark of the Haverstraw Patent. In recent times it has been applied to two elevations, the Little Torne, west of the Hudson, and the Great Torne, near the Hudson, south of Haverstraw. (Cal. N. Y. Land Papers, 46.)
