[Edward Manning Ruttenber (1906)] _Aumsûog,_ Mass., "small fishes." As a generic suffix, _-ama'ug,_ Mass., _-ama'uk,_ Del., "fishing-place." "_Ama'ug_ is only used at the end of a compound name, where it is equivalent to _Nameaug,_ at the beginning." (Trumbull.) The final syllable, _-ug, -uk,_ etc., is an animate plural. On Long Island, _-Ama'ug_ is frequently met in _-amuck;_ in other places, _-amwack, -amwook, -ameock,_ etc. 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.
