Notes to the Preceding Deed
June 8, 1671 .- In ansr to the petition of Alquot & Wallump, sachems of Pojasacke neere Westfield, complayning that an Indian called Amoa- kisson sold a parcell of their land at Woronoake to Left Cooper, wch is distributed amongst severall English inhabitants of Westfield, without giving them, the true ounors of ye land, any allowanc, though often desired & demanded, humbly desiring this Courts favor to releive them, the Court judgeth it meete to refer it to the County Court at Hampshire to order the petitioners sattisfaction, (if they find just cause,) and to make a finall issue of the matter, & to return what they doe herein to the Generall Court. -Records of Mass. Bay Colony, Vol. 4, Pg. 687.
IWorrinoke .- From the Algonquin root, wanon, "in a circular way; in a winding way," with the substantive, ock, "place; country." By the sub- stitution of r, one of the interchangeable letters of the dialect, this becomes waron, and a is pronounced nearly like the short English o. This then becomes Woron-ock; "the country with windings; the winding land"; and the character of territory would not be opposed to such an interpretation.
2Tomhaummucke .- From aito-maham-uck, "land on both sides (of which) water flows down," or "the canoe man goes down." The name would then mean "the land where one goes down stream on both sides." This brook was probably the common avenue in going from Worrinoke to Nano- tuck. In aito, as spoken by an Indian, the first syllable is less hard than the second, and may easily have been disregarded. The modern name is Sackett's Brook.
3Pochasuck .- "Where the narrows open out."
4Wasapskotock .- Was is the root for "shining"; apikat in Algonquin, and apiskau in Montagnais is "rock" verbified in the indicative mood. Thus we have was-apikat-ock, "the shining rock land." Modern name is Prospect Hill.

Note to the Preceding Deed
IHockanome .- At Wethersfield, whence came some of the Hadley set- tlers, was a neck of land similar to that at Northampton, which the Indians about there called Hoccanum (Hocquaum, "hook shaped"). Evidently the English adopted this name in their new home, and applied it to the hook at the "ox-bow." It is a curious fact that at both Hadley and Weth- ersfield, changes in the river bed have made the neck of land into an island.

Notes to Preceding Deed
ISunnuckquommuck .- The compounds of this name are sanak, root word for "difficult; rough," and kamik, a termination referring to land in the locative case. It would mean "at the rough country; at the country hard to travel through," perhaps on account of the numerous brooks and hills.
2 Cowase .- Kawise, "a depression."
3Paquonckquamog .- The Algonquin root pakwa, "shallow," gives the prefix, and with chquamog, meaning "lake" in the locative case, would give "at the shallow lake." The a in kwa is so pronounced by an Indian as to justify this translation.
4Paskesickquopoh .- Paskese-kopau, a compound word composed of paskese, "it forks, it branches," and kopau, a termination almost like kamau, which applies to a pond. The word thus means "the branching pond."
5Suchow .- Sucki-aug, "dark colored earth."
6Hoccanum .- Refer to note on page 49.
7Cowachuck .- From the same root as Cowase (kawise). Kawise-uck, "the yielding land; where the ground yields, or sinks."
8Quaquoonuntuck .- Kwakwanan-tuck, "the shaking-marsh creek." This corroborates the translation of Cowachuck.
