[Edward Manning Ruttenber (1906)] a line from "about the Dancing Chamber" on the Hudson to Sam's Point on the Shawongunk range on the southwest, and on the west by that range and the river Peakadasank. The Peakadasank is now known as Shawangunk Kill. The pond "called Meretange," is claimed by some authorities, as that now known as Binnen-water in the town of Mount Hope, Orange County. On Sauthier's map it is located on the southern division of the range noted as "Alaskayering Mts.," and represented as the head of Shawongunk Kill. The same distinction is claimed for Meretange or Peakadasank Swamp in the town of Greenville, Orange County. A third Maratanza Pond is located a short distance west of Sam's Point. The name of the hill has been changed from _Aioskawasting_ to _Awosting_ as the name of a lake and a waterfall about four miles north of Sam's Point, and translated from _Awoss_ (Lenape), "Beyond," "On the other side," and claimed to have been originally applied to a crossing-place in the depression north of Sam's Point, neither of which interpretations is tenable. The prefix, _Aioska,_ cannot be dropped and the name have a meaning, and the adjectival, _Awoss,_ cannot be used as a substantive and followed by the locative _-ing,_ "at, on," etc.
