7>^, 'tube,' 'stamen,' 'pistil,' 'stalk l)earing inflorescence'. Tey is 

 said of hollow cylindrical o1)jects. Thus: l'iiv{M)tejj, 'stalk of 

 corn tassel' (k'litj, corn plant; hi., inflorescence; tey, tube, stalk 

 bearing inflorescence); J>'f({h})fnj, 'stalk bearing- inflorescence of 

 'Yucca baccata' (pa., Yucca baccata; hj, inflorescence; tttj., tube, 

 stalk bearing inflorescence). 



KgJa, 'cluster' (Hano). Thus: tekqlq, 'clustered catkins of the cotton- 

 wood tree. ' The same term would be applied to a cluster of grapes. 



Tjaka., 'bunch' (Hano). Thus: te^njotjaJca^ bunch of white fir foliage. 



Seeds and Fruits, their Parts and Functions 



Pg, 'seed,' 'fruit,' 'crop.' This is the adjective pe, 'ripe,' 

 'mature,' used as a noun; for adjectival use of ye see below. 

 Pe is applied to any seed or fruit 

 produced by any plant, also to crops 

 in^he sense of seeds or fruits col- 

 lectively . Rarely it refers to ' crops, ' 

 meaning matured whole plants or 

 any part or parts of matured plants. 

 Thus: tcUqpe., ' seed, fruit, or berry 

 of wheat,' 'wheat crop,' not includ- 

 ing or excluding stalks, leaves, or 

 roots (MM, wheat; pe, seed, fruit, 

 crop). Pe may be used instead of 

 tqy, to, k'e, Tea, he, pege, ¥o.ie, and 

 the names of introduced nuts and 

 fruits; see below. Pe tends espe- 

 cially to supplant I'a and jf><?^(3. 

 Thus: hupe, 'beriy of one-seeded juniper,' instead of Jiupegc (hu, 

 one-seeded juniper; pe, seed, fruit, crop); kivse/pe, 'acorn,' instead 

 of hwseli a {hwse,, oak tree; pe, seed, fruit, crop). In the case 

 of fruits to which none of the other words applies very well, 

 p<? is regularly applied. Thus: ^dbepe, 'fruit of the chokecherry' 

 {^aie, chokecherrv; pe, seed, fruit, crop); ss^pe, 'prickly-pear 

 or Opuntia' (ssp., Opuntia; pe, seed, fruit, crop). Pe is used as 

 a second member of compounds, such as ji^P^i ^dpe^ hepe, etc. ; 

 see below. See also pe, ' immature kernel of corn either on the 

 cob or cut ofl* the cob,' listed below, which may be the same word. 



P'epe, 'seed,' 'fruit,' 'crop' (/>'tf, stick, plant; pe, seed, fruit, 

 crop). This is an equivalent of the non-compounded pe. 



Tqi), 'seed.' This word is applied to any seed. It may be, but 

 usually is not, applied instead of to or Tea; see below. Intro- 

 duced nuts may be called tqy, just as we would call them seeds, 

 but the common name for them is to.
