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 pukutsi, a term which seems 

 to have originally meant pet. But kaftaju (&amp;lt;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 ( &amp;lt; 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 budu. 



The Hopi corruption of Spanish burro is modb; cf. Voth s &quot;moro.&quot; * 

 A donkey stallion is called buda gadanuy (&amp;lt;Span. burro garanon). 



Matfu ( &amp;lt; Span, macho) . 



Ojeso jo e , big-eared little animal ( oje, ear; so jo , big; e , 



diminutive) . 

 Mule. 



The male mule is called matfu ( &amp;lt;Span. macho), the female mule is 

 called mula ( &amp;lt;Span. mula). Young mules are called matfu 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. 



Hi^ap a (&amp;lt;Span. jirafa).
