Connecticut - Wiktionary

English

[edit]

Etymology

[edit]

Said to be from Mohegan-Pequot quinnitukqut (“at the long tidal river”),[en 1] from *kwen- (“long”) (spelling perhaps due to confusion with connect) + *-ehtekw (“tidal river”) + *-enk (locative). (Can this(+) etymology be sourced? Particularly: “this derivation conflicts with the form "quinnitukqut"; also the orthographies don't match”)
