o an Indian--a fact well known to all students of Indian linguistics. [19] Compare the various derivates from the Nipissing (Cuoq) _kikina_ and _kikino_; Otchipwe (Baraga) _kikino_; Cree (Lacomb) _okiskino_; Delaware (Zeisberger) _kikino_, etc. [20] Book of Deeds, vol. ii. p. 210, office of the Secretary of State, Albany, N. Y. A copy of this deed, from a contemporary copy made by Richard Terry, then on sale at Dodd & Mead's, New York, was contributed to the Greenport Watchman by Wm. S. Pelletreau, June 6, 1891. [21] Hall's Norwalk, p. 35. [22] Hall's Norwalk, p. 62. [23] Another island of this group bears the personal name of an Indian who was called _Mamachimin_ (Hall's Norwalk, pp. 30, 93, 97. He joined in the Indian deed to Roger Ludlow of Norwalk, February 26, 1640, corresponding to March 8, 1641). The name still survives, abbreviated to "_Chimons_ Island." [24] Colonial Records of Connecticut, vol. iv. p. 476. [25] East Hampton Records, vol. i. pp. 96-97.

[27] Compare Delaware (Zeisberger) _Anhuktonheen_, "interpreter," _Ekhikuweet_, "talker"; Lenape (Brinton) _Anhoktonhen_, "to interpret"; Otchipwe (Baraga) _Anikanotagewin_, "interpreter," or "his work as an interpreter," _Anikanotage_, "I repeat what another says." [28] Southold Records, vol. i. p. 158. [29] The late David Gardiner in his Chronicles of East Hampton, p. 33, and other Long Island historians following him, place this event in the year 1651; but as _Yoco_, as he is more often called, united with the chief men of his tribe in the deed to Captain Middleton and associates on the 27th of December, 1652, a date which was, in accordance with our present mode of computing time, January 6, 1653, would indicate beyond question the error of our historians in assigning his death previous. [30] East Hampton Records, vol. i. p. 31: "It is ordered noe Indian shall Come to the Towne unles it be upon special occasion and none to come armed because that the Dutch hath hired Indians agst the English and we not knowing Indians by face and because the Indians hath cast of their sachem, and if any of the Indians or other by night will come in to the towne in despit of eyther wa
