ERRATA. Through an oversight in revising manuscript written several years ago, Narratschoan (page 121) was assigned to the Verdrietig Hoek Mountain. It should have been assigned to Butter Hill, and Klinkersberg should have been assigned to the Donderberg. Klinkers is from Dutch Klinken, "To sound, to resound." It describes, with the suffic -berg, a hard stone mountain or hill that resounds or echoes -- Echo Hill. Narratschoan, the name of Butter Hill, is from Nai, "It is angular, it corners" -- "having corners or angles." (Trumbull.) The letters -afscho stand for -achtschu, Zeisb., -adchu, Natick, "Hill or mountain," and -an is the formative.
