'^.] ETHNOZOOLOGY OF THE TEWA INDIANS 81 



Many of the Indian languages of the Southwest have, Hke Tewa, 

 borrowed the Spanish word caballo as^a designation for the horse. 

 In Southern Ute the horse is mostly called puJcutsi, a term which seems 

 to have originally meant 'pet.' But Jca^aju (<Span. cahallo) 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 \vild horses to be found on the mesa south of Buckman, 

 N. Mex. 



Budu (<Span. harro). 



'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 hudil. 



The Hopi corruption of Spanish hurro is Tnoud; cf . Voth's "moro." ^ 

 A donkey stallion is called budii gaJUiniir] (<Span. Imrro garanon). 



Matfu ( < Span, macho) . 



'Ojeso^jo''e', 'big-eared little animal' {'oje, ear; so'jo', big; 'e', 



diminutive) . 

 Mule. 

 The male mule is called matfu ( <Span. macho), the female mule is 

 called mula (< Span. muZa) . 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. 



Seha (<Span. zehra). 

 Zebra. 



HiMip'a (<Span. jirafa). 



Ke 4ugl'^, 'long neck' (fee, neck; dug^, long). 



Giraffe. 



Eameju (<Span. camello).
