 [3:36]; ?mg.e 'over below' Knuhi ' below ',g<j 'down at' 'over at'; 

 potm 'marsh' <po 'water', tsa 'to cut through'). 

 [3:36] (1) SanJi\anP'efvbn\i 'timber end town' (^/«; 'stick' 'timber'; 

 fuhi 'end of longish object in horizontal position'; biiu 'town'). 

 The name P'efu- is applied to ))oth the present town and the ruin 

 [3:3S]; it is used by the San Juan people onl_y. It is undoubtedly 

 the original Tewa name of the pueblo ruin [3:38] as well as of the 

 present Mexican town, and of it Span. Abiquiu is a corruption. 

 See Span. (7). The original reason why this place is called thus 

 appears to have been forgotten in the remote past. The name 

 means either the end of a stick or log, or the sharp end of a mesa 

 or some other geographical feature which projects horizontally 

 ■ and has timber on it. The same word appears as a San Ildefonso 

 place-name in P'efuhmje [20 AQ] and P'efutini [20 :4 7]. = Tewa 

 ('2), Cochiti (6), Eng. (7), Span. (S). "At San Juan the name 

 was given to me as Fe-jiu".' This is given as the name of the 

 present town. "In that case it is quite likely that its name 

 was Fe-jyu"'.= This is given as the probable name of the 

 pueblo ruin [3:38]. 



(2) 'Aiefu'ii, 'AMju. ( < Span. (8)). Both of these forms have 

 been modified by folk-etymology, \-iie- is identical with \M 

 'chokecherry' 'Pnmus melanocarpa' while the Mexicans say 

 Aithju. f'u'u in 'Aiefn'i/ is the word meaning 'end' just as it 

 appears in the original Tewa name P'efu'u, so that the whole 

 meaning of 'Abefu''u, is 'chokecherry end'. This is the form 

 commonly used at all the Tewa pueblos except San Juan, while 

 ^AbAjii, is seldom heard. =Tewa (1), Cochiti (6), Eng. (7), 

 Span. (S). "Se-pa-ue and Abe-chiu."^ In the sentence fol- 

 lowing the one from which these words are quoted Bandelier 

 refers to information obtained by him from the Tewa of San 

 Ildefonso. His "Abe-chiu"is evidently '^8e/(('w and was probably 

 obtained by him at San Ildefonso. "Abechiu (Tewa, ' the screech 

 oftheowl')".^ "Abechiu (le cri du hibou)".^
