HENDERSON r : 
Seale ETHNOZOOLOGY OF THE TEWA INDIANS 31 
Many of the Indian languages of the Southwest have, like Tewa, 
borrowed the Spanish word caballo as a designation for the horse. 
In Southern Ute the horse is mostly called pukitsi, a term which seems 
to have originally meant ‘pet.’ But kabajw (<Span. caballo) is also 
used. 
The Tewa now use horses in the same way as the Mexicans who 
live in their country. The Tewa frequently go to the Jicarilla 
Apache country to buy horses. The Jicarilla Apache are noted for 
their fine horses, which they sell cheap. 
- There are wild horses to be found on the mesa south of Buckman, 
N. Mex. 
Budu (<Span. burro). 
’Ojeso’jo"’e*, ‘big-eared little animal’ (’oje, ear; so’jo", big; ’e 
diminutive). 
Domestic Donkey. 
It is said that when donkeys first became known to the Tewa the 
term ’ojeso’jo"’e" alone was used. This term is still employed by the 
Tewa when talking in the presence of Mexicans, lest they understand 
the word bud. 
The Hopi corruption of Spanish burro is mow; ef. Voth’s ‘‘méro.” ! 
A donkey stallion is called bud& gasanuy (<Span. burro garaion). 
Mat fu (<Span. macho). 
’Ojeso’jo"’e", ‘big-eared little animal’ (’oje, ear; so’jo-, big; ’e’, 
diminutive). 
Mule. 
The male mule is called mat/w (<Span. macho), the female mule is 
called mula (<Span. mula). Young mules are called matfw'e: or 
mula’e’,’e being the diminutive. 
’Ojeso’jo"’e’ seems to be rarely applied to mules. 
The Tewa do not own as many mules as they own horses and 
donkeys.

Zebra.
