Refers in this case to native tobacco, but more especially to 

 the blue blossoms of the same, which are laid out to dry. 

 Cihongniwa. (m.) Blossoms Stand. 



From cihu, blossom, flower; hong, plural verb root of stand, 

 raised up, etc., and No. 3. 



Refers to the blossoms of the growing tobacco plant. 

 Cihongva. (m.) Blossoms Raised. 



From emu; hong (see preceding word), and No. 6. 



Meaning the same as the previous one, with the difference 

 between No. 3 and No. 6. 

 Ciyonsi. (f.) Owes (a) Blossom or (a) Flower. 



From cihu; yon, the root of words signifying owe, be indebted 

 to, etc., and No. 8. 



Some uncertainty exists as to the exact meaning of this name. 

 If "yon" is here used in the usual sense, as given, the meaning 

 would be that something was owing or due to a flower or blossom, 

 or that somebody owed a blossom or a flower to some one. In 

 the latter case it would, in all probability, in some way refer 

 to the many wrangles and contests for flowers and blossoms 

 that take place among the children and young people in the 

 H6pi villages. The flowers of the tobacco plant would in this 

 case be referred to. 

 Piphongsi. (f.) Tobacco Stands. 



From piva (nicotiana, attenuata Torr.), the native tobacco; 

 hong, root word for stand, raised up, etc. (in the plural), and 

 No. 8. 



The name refers to the stems of the growing tobacco plant. 

 Piva-mana. (f.) Tobacco Maiden. 



From piva (see previous), and mana, maiden, virgin, etc. 



It is difficult to say just what the name refers to, unless it be 

 to the fact that the H6pi divide the plants into male and female 

 plants, and that in this case the plant is called a maiden, as is 

 very frequently the case with corn-stalks, corn-ears, etc. 

 Piphoya. (m.) Little Tobacco. 



From piva, and No. 1. 



The Name Giver had undoubtedly in mind a small piva 

 plant. 

 Piphongniva. (m.) Tobacco Standing Up. 



From piva; hong, and No. 3. 



Reference is made to a number of growing piva plants or their 

 stems.
