Nannakans, given as the name of a clan residing on Croton River, is an equivalent of _Narragans_ (_s_ foreign plural), meaning "People of the point," the locative being Croton Point. (See Nyack.) This clan, crushed by the war of 1643-5, removed to the Raritan country, where, by dialectic exchange of _n_ and _r,_ they were known as Raritanoos, or Narritans. They were represented, in 1649, by Pennekeck, "The chief behind the Kul, having no chief of their own." (Col. Hist. N. Y., xiii.) The interpretation given to their removal, by some writers, viz., "That the Wappingers removed to New Jersey," is only correct in a limited sense. The removal was of a single clan or family. The Indians on both sides of the Hudson here were of kindred stock and were largely intermarried. (See Raritans and Pomptons.) Senasqua, quoted as the name of Teller's Point (now Croton Point), and also as the name of Teller's Neck, is described as "A meadow," presumably on the neck or point. It is an equivalent of Del. _Lenaskqual,_ "Original grass," (Zeisb.), _i. e._ grass which was supposed to have grown on the land from the beginning. (Heck.) Called "Indian grass" to distinguish it from "Whitemen's grass." [FN] * * * * * [FN] _Askquall,_ or _Askqua,_ is an inanimate plural in the termination _-all, -al,_ or _-a._ All grass was not described by _Maskik,_ in which the termination _-ik_ is the animate plural. Peppeneghek is a record form of the name quoted as that of what is now known as Cross-river. Kewighecack, the name of a boundmark of Van Cortlandt's Manor, is written on the map of the Manor _Keweghteuack_ as the name of a bend in the Croton west of Pine Bridge. It is from _Koua, Kowa, Cuwé,_ "Pine"--_Cuwé-uchac,_ "Pine wood, pine logs." (Zeisb.) Kestaubniuk is entered on Van der Donck's map as the name of an Indian place or village north of Sing Sing. On Vischer's map the orthography is _Kestaubocuck._ Dr. Schoolcraft wrote _Kestoniuck,_ "Great Point," and claimed that the last word had been borrowed and applied to Nyack on the opposite side of the river, but this is a mistake as Nyack is generic and of local record where it now is as early as 1660, and is there correctly applied. No one seems to know where Kestaubniuk was, but the name is obviously from _Kitschi-bonok,_ "Great ground-nut place." _Ketche-punak_ and _Ketcha-bonac,_ L. I., _K'schobbenak,_ Del. Menagh, entered in Indian deed to Van Cortlandt, 1683, as the name of what is now known as Verplanck's Point, is probably from _Menach'en_ (Del.), the indefinite form of _Menátes,_ diminutive, meaning "Small island." The point was an island in its separation from the main land by a water course. Monack, Monach, Menach, are other orthographies of the name. Tammoesis is of record as the name of a small stream north of Peekskill.
