6. THE GUNKS
• You have undoubtedly noticed the apostrophe (') before the word 'Gunks as it appears
throughout this website. The apostrophe stands for syllables omitted from the word
"Shawangunks." This seems to be the closest spelling we have of the word used by the early
Dutch settlers to interpret the Native American word for our famous cliffs. Some linguists
suggest that the Native American pronunciation of the word was something like "Shon-gum."
However, since there are no speakers of that dialect alive today, pronunciation is up for grabs.
Suffice it to say that these cliffs have come to be internationally known, for all intents and
purposes, as the 'Gunks.
