Kitchaminchoke, given as the name of a boundmark, said to be Moriches Island, is interpreted by Dr. Tooker, "The beginning place." The description (1630) reads, "Beginning at" a place called, _i. e._ an object or feature which would definitely locate a boundmark--apparently an equivalent of _Schiechi-kiminschi-aki,_ Lenape, "Place of a soft-maple tree." The territory conveyed extended to _Enaughquamuck,_ which Dr. Tooker rendered correctly, "As far as the fishing-place." Niamug and Niamuck are forms of the name of what is now known as Canoe Place, on the south side of Long Island, near Southampton. "_Niamug,_ the place where the Indians haul over their canoes out of the North Bay to the South Bay." (Deed of 1640.) Dr. Trumbull translated from _Nôe-amuck,_ "Between the fishing places." Local tradition affirms that centuries ago the Indians made a canal here for the purpose of passing their canoes from Mecox Bay to Paconic Bay. Mongotucksee, the hero of the story, was a chieftain who reigned over the Montauks in the days of their pride and power. The tradition has no other merit than the fact that Niamug was a place at which canoes were hauled across the island. Sicktew-hacky (deed of 1638); _Sicketewackey_ (Van der Donck, 1656): "All the lands from Rockaway eastward to Sicktew-hackey, or Fire Island Bay"; "On the south coast of Long Island, at a place called Sicktewacky, or Secontague, near Fire Island Inlet" (Brodhead); Seaquetauke, 1659; Setauck Neck, the south bound of St. George's Manor, now Manorville; of record as the name of an Indian clan and village near Fire Island Inlet, with the Marsapinks and Nyacks for neighbors; now preserved in several forms of which Setauket probably locates a place near Secontague. _Sicketeuhacky,_ writes Mr. Gerard, "is the Lenape equivalent of _Secatogue,_ meaning 'Burned-over land.' Whether the mainland or Fire Island was the 'Burned-over land,' history does not tell us." Lands were burned over by the Indians to destroy the bushes and coarse grasses, and probably some field of this character was referred to by the Indian grantors, from which the name was extended to the Neck and to Fire Island, although it is said that fires were kindled on the island for the guidance of fishermen. Saghtekoos--"called by the native Indians Saghtekoos; by the Christians Appletree Neck"--the name of the Thompson estate in Islip--probably means, "Where the stream branches or divides," or "At the branch," referring to Thompson's brook. The suffix _-oos_ evidently stands for "small." (See Sohaghticoke.) "Apple-tree Neck" is not in the composition, but may indicate that the Indian owners had planted apple trees there.
