Spelling of the tribe's name varies: Is Cowasuk one variation?

See, for instance, part of the Pennacook tribe. Cowass in Abenaki is "Coo-ash-auke," meaning "place of pine trees," and was a general name these people gave to the upper Connecticut River Valley and Lakes region = the Newbury location in VT
