» I have followed other authors in the translation of " B&tki " for want of a better translation, 

 though I have for some time had some misgivings about the correctness of the rendering "water 

 house," for which the Hopi equivalent would be " b&hki." When studying the Blue Flute ceremony 

 in Ot&M in January, 1903, some of the older leaders related the tradition of the meeting of the two 

 Flute Societies at the spring near Or&ibi (where they still have mutual ceremonies), the Kohkang 

 (Spider) clan and B&tki clan. When I asked for the meaning of Mtki they promptly said ctd or 

 divided -water or spring, from b^hu (water), and tuki (cut, divided, separated), because, they said, 

 they had then and have ever since used that spring in their ceremonies mutually; it had been 

 divided between them and the other Flute Society. Numerous Hopi words could be mentioned 

 showing just such a connection between a noun and the word "tuki" (cut, separate). I do not 

 recall a single instance where "water house" has been given me as the meaning of " bfttki." I 

 am invariably told that they did not know what it meant, and when I suggested " water house " they 

 said it might mean that, though on account of the " t " sound they thought it must be archaic. On 

 the other hand, when I submitted the newly discovered rendering "divided (or cut) spring" to 

 others they said they had never heard it; but as no one knew what batki meant the derivation from 

 bahu and tiiki might be correct. So further investigations are necessary before this point can be 

 definitely settled.
