Than accepted Skowhegan as a [?], where you stay before a hunt, rather a meeting place. Squakwatick (Passam.) was a meeting pl,, big peace meeting. Your [?] for tools etc. is right as far as it goes, but the bottom of the -gans + learn is use as a passion without ending; something is done; as a [?] told me "kan is some thing made", there is a personal agency.
