The Name Giver evidently had in mind some one seeking a 

 coyote or gray fox (latayo). 

 Qoyanomka. (f.) The One That Folds Up Gray. 



From q6ya; No. 5, and No. 4. 



As only the root of "nom" is used, it cannot be determined 

 whether the meaning is that the latayo is folded or enveloped in 

 his own grayish skin, or that some female person is folding up 

 a gray fox skin. 

 Sifcahongioma. (m.) Yellow Stands Up or Rises. 



From sifcangpu, yellow, and hdngioma, be erected, raise up, 

 also stand up, etc. 



It is not quite apparent what is referred to, but very likely a 

 number of yellow foxes which are supposed to rise or stand up. 

 Sifcamoyniwa. (m.) Yellow Spread Out. 



From siKangpu, yellow; moy, root of spread out, lay out, and 

 No. 2. 



The Name Giver* had in mind a yellow fox skin spread or 

 stretched out to dry. 

 Kiwanwikvaya. (m.) Brought (the) Beautiful. 



From kiwani, woman's word for pretty, beautiful, etc., and 

 wikvaya (plural of wikva), bring, fetch; referring to animate 

 objects. 



The supposition is, that some one fetches a pretty fox, the 

 Name Giver probably imagining the little one to have become a 

 great hunter and seeing him bring in this highly prized game. 

 Fox skins are used in many ceremonies and Katcma dances. 

 Lomangontiwa. (m.) Beautifully Necklaced. 



From loma, good, pretty, beautiful; ngon, root of words signi- 

 fying wear around the neck, etc., and No. 2. 



Refers to pretty fox skins worn around the neck by certain 

 Katcinas. 



XXVI. Name Giver belonging to the Tave (A Herb, sarco- 



batus verniculatus Torry) Clan. 

 Cakwkuiva. (m.) Blue Protrudes or Looms Up. 



From cakwawusa blue, green; kuito, protrude, come or loom 

 up, and No. 6. 



Refers to the bluish sprouts of the plant when they begin to 

 protrude from the stems.
