émaquer would be my guess in standard French, but I
don't know the dynamics of Picard et al. My only guess
is that some how in a non-written language, the é- got
lost, but someone knowledgeable in Picard would have
to figure out whether or not that's possible.

=============

I can see no reason why a syllable should be lost.
Cf. écouter (std) = Northern acouter

I think maquer can't be from smack.
