I wasjust wondering. Some sites (wikipedia for example) list Piscataqua River’s name as “Named by the area’s original Abenaki inhabitants, “Piscataqua” is believed to be a combination of “peske” (branch) with “tegwe” (a river with a strong current, possibly tidal)” others “Piscataqua River (pesgatak was) – “the water looks dark” or similar. Which one should be considered correct?
Thank you
