[Edward Manning Ruttenber (1906)] It is an equivalent of _Newás_ (Len.), "promontory." (See Nyack-on-the-Hudson.) 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.
