What is the American Indian meaning for the suffix keag in the name of places such as kanduskeag?

The word kanduskeag (as a river and place name) is also recorded as kenduskeag, condeskeag, conduskeagor even kenderqnit and relates to the Abenaki/Penobscot language - a member of the Algonquian language group. Local tradition says that it means "place of spearing eels", "place where eels gather", "eel weir place" or "where eels are caught", but the Penobscot word for eel is nahômo.
It is clear from the different versions of the name mentioned above that settlers were not too bothered about accurately recording native place-names, but the element -keag appears in many locations in Maine: Mattawamkeag, Naskeag, Passadumkeag, Weskeag. It is likely to simply mean "place".

Why was French and Indian War considered first world war?
Because it nearly mirrored WWI. In WWI, the European combatants, naturally, fought the majority of their land battles in Europe (trench warfare, etc.), but some land battles and naval battles were fought in Asia, and the Pacific, Atlantic, and Indian Oceans. Those same lands and oceans were fought on or in by the same European nations that fought in the French and Indian wars. Stated another way, other than the date and modern equipment/weapons; WWI and the French & Indian War were fought in almost the same places by the same nations (countries). Almost...meaning, the American colonies which were a major battlefield during the French and Indian War, was NOT a battlefield at all during WWI (aka the Great War).
