[Edward Manning Ruttenber (1906)] Trumbull ("Indian Names in Connecticut") wrote: "_Wassiog,_ (Moh.), alternate _Washiack,_ a west bound of the Mohegan country claimed by Uncas; 'the south end of a very high hill' very near the line between Glastonbury and Hebron," a place near Hartford, Conn., but failed to give explanation of the name. * * * * * [FN] _Wallam_--the initial _W_ dropped--literally, "Paint rocks," a formation of igneous rock which, by exposure, becomes disintegrated into soft earthy masses. There are several varieties. The Indians used the disintegrated masses for paint. The name is met in some forms in all Algonquian dialects. (See Wallomschack.) Weputing, Weepitung, Webotuck, Weepatuck (N. Y. and Conn. Rec.), given as the name of a "high mountain," in the Sackett Patent, was translated by Dr. Trumbull, from Conn. Records: "_Weepatuck,_ 'Place of the narrow pass,' or 'strait.'" (See Wassaic.) Querapogatt, a boundmark of the Sackett Patent, is, apparently, a compound of _Quenne,_ "long," _pog_ (paug), "pond," and _att_ locative--"Beginning at the (a) long pond." The name is met in _Quine-baug,_ without locative suffix, signifying "Long Pond" simply.
