Are you sure Capoix? I thought "marigot" would itself be a French word!

Well, maricage is of old style french and simply got replaced by Marigot.

What about the simple word for "to give"? Bay?

Might have come from the old french word "baillier"


I could be wrong

Are you sure Capoix? Maricage? This is the first time I hear that word! Did you mean "marécage"?

Yes, sir, you are correct....2 thumbs up for the correction.

I think Maricage is the english typo or simply my typo
