HARRINGTON] COSMOGRAPHY 45 



water are collected from the following four places, all situated near 

 San Ildefonso Pueblo: North, Bunogcpolvri [15:17]; west, Potsqns^ii- 

 nxpohri [16:37]; south, Potsimi'ege [19:l-23]: east, Potsifii'u [19:39]. 

 These places are also sometimes called, respectively, pimpije'i/npokwi 

 'north lake' {pi/np/'je 'north.'; iyj' locative and adjective-forming 

 postfix; pokioi ^ pooV 'lake'), etc. The medicine water from the above 

 is rainwater; that from the below is obtained by digging a hole in the 

 ground where water can be reached. The water from the six sources 

 is mixed in a woposcCi"' 'medicine- water bowl' (■wo 'medicine'; po 

 'water'; sa 'to be', said of 3+; '/"' locative.) and used ceremoniall}-. 



OTHER CARDINAL IDENTIFICATIONS 



Mrs. Stevenson' mentions cumulus clouds, ants, "'Ahayuta," etc., of 

 the six regions of the Zufii. Certainly many Tewa identifications 

 remain to be obtained. 



The Skt 



Mnhoioa 'sky'. Distinct from ''y.'^^fcvv ' the above'; see under Car- 

 dinal Directions. This is probably what Bandelier means when he 

 writes: ^ "Here [among the Tewa], as well as among the Queres [Kere- 

 san stock], we must distinguish between the heavens [the above?] and 

 the sky. The latter is a male deity called 0-pat-y Sen." "0-pat-y 

 Sen" is evidently for ^ Opas^yf 'the World,' as remarked above under 

 The World. The sky is personated as Makowasindo 'Skj' Old Man' 

 {/nahnva 'sky'; s^tido 'old man'). The Sky is the husband of the 

 Earth, who is personified as iVa^lw 70 'Earth Old Woman'; see below 

 under The Earth. 



'In the sky' is expressed by mahowa without locative postfix. 

 Thus the sun, moon, stars, the Christian God, etc., are said to live 

 or to be in the sky: makowa t'qn nqfa 'in the sky the sun lives' 

 (/rta^'owa 'sky'; ^'gyy'sun'; ??4'it''he'; fa 'to live'). Mahowalced,l 

 means 'up in the sky' 'at the top of the sky' Qce^ti 'on top of). 

 Tewa stories tell of a pueblo in the sky in which an Indian from this 

 earth has adventures. The sun and the moon have their paths in 

 the sky. 



SUN and moon , 



The sun is called t'atjf, the moon po. T'qrjf is perhaps connected 

 with the word t'a 'day'. Po is used also with the meaning 'montli'. 

 The divinities resident in the sun and moon are called T'qni<ejido ' Sun 

 Old Man ' (t'qrjf 'sun'; s^ndo 'old man') and Posmdo 'Moon Old Man' 

 {po 'moon'; .se/ido 'old man'). Both sun and moon are male, as the}'
