Talk:Scup

Untitled
"Scup" is an abbreviation of an Algonquin, perhaps Wampanoag, name for this fish. Does anyone have any further information on the etymology? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.253.22.123 (talk) 15:25, 13 July 2013 (UTC) And it looks like porgy might have a romance derivation: https://www.thefreedictionary.com/porgyMuniche (talk) 17:59, 14 November 2018 (UTC)


 * 'mishscuppaug' is the full name, as found in an old Mirriam Webster dictionary from the 1940's. The word ending in 'aug' indicates the plural form.  Other examples of Algonquin names for edible fauna include 'tautaug', a fish and quahaug, a hard-shelled clam. 67.244.37.80 (talk) 14:26, 23 July 2023 (UTC)
