Aquehung, Acqueahounck, etc., was translated by Dr. O'Callaghan, "The place of peace." from _Aquene,_ Nar., "peace," and _unk,_ locative. Dr. Trumbull wrote, "A place _on this side_ of some other place," from the generic _Acq._ The description in N. Y. Land Papers reads, "Bounded on the east by the river called by the Indians Aquehung," the river taking its name from its position as a boundary "on this side" of which was the land. The contemporary name, _Ran-ahqua-ung,_ means "A place on the other side," corresponding with the description, "On the other side of the Great Kil." Bolton assigns Acqueahounck to Hutchinson's Creek, the west boundary of the town of Pelham. The "Great Kil" is now the Bronx. Kakeout, the name of the highest hill in Westchester County, is from Dutch _Kijk-uit,_ "Look-out--a place of observation, as a tower, hill," etc. It appears also in Rockland and in Ulster County and on the Mohawk. (See Kakiate.) Shappequa, a name now applied to the Shappequa Hills and to a mineral spring east of Sing-Sing, and destined to be remembered as that of the home of Horace Greeley, was primarily given to locate a tract now embraced in the towns of New Castle and Bedford, and, as in all such cases, was a specific place by which the location could be identified, but which in turn has never been identified. The name is apparently a form of _Chepi_ written also _Chappa,_ signifying, "Separated, apart from, a distinct place." [FN] (See Kap-hack.) * * * * * [FN] The word _Chippe_ or _Shappa,_ means not only separate, "The separate place," but was employed to describe a future condition--Chepeck, the dead. As an adjective, _Chippe_ (El.) signifies separated, set apart. _Chepiohkomuk,_ the place of separation. The same word was used for 'ghost,' 'spectre,' 'evil spirit.' (Trumbull.) The corresponding Delaware word was _Tschipey._ It is not presumed that the word was made use of here in any other sense than its literal application, "A separate place." Bolton assigns the name to a Laurel Swamp, but with doubtful correctness. Aspetong, a bold eminence in Bedford, is an equivalent of _Ashpohtag,_ Mass., "A high place," "A height." (Trumbull.) See Ishpatinau. Quarepos, of record as the name of the district of country called by the English "White Plains," from the primary prevalence there of white balsam (Dr. O'Callaghan), seems to have been the name of the lake now known as St. Mary's. _Quar_ is a form of _Quin, Quan,_ etc., meaning "Long," and _pos_ stands for _pog_ or _paug,_ meaning "Pond." The name is met in _Quin'e-paug,_ "Long Pond." The pond lies along the east border of the town of White Plains. Peningo, the point or neck of land forming the southeastern extremity of the town of Rye, [FN] was interpreted by Dr. Bolton, with doubtful correctness: "From _Ponus,_ an Indian chief." The neck is some nine miles long by about two miles broad and seems to have been primarily a region of ridges and swamps.
