HARRINGTON] PLACE-NAMES 147 



Tsefu'u 'eagle end' {tse 'eagle'; fii'u 'projecting end of a long 

 object in horizontal position '). 



This was said by a Santa Clai'a informant to be a mountain north 

 of El Rito[4:5]. It was also said that the name is Tsefio 'eagle 

 nose'(/w 'nose'), but this was probably due to misunderstanding.

[5:5] Zsgwypiz^y'' wrestling mountain' (7sawi(j,see[5:Tl; fiyf 'moun- 

 tain'). 



This small, round hill is about half a mile southeast of the junc- 

 tion of El Rito Creek with Chama River. It is not more than 50 

 feet high, but very symmetrical and prominent. The name given 

 above is certainly the old Tewa name of the hill, and it is not im- 

 possible that the hill gave the name Tsdjnq.- to the pueblo ruin 

 [5:7] and other features in the vicinity. Inquiry was made of a 

 Mexican family which lives on the ranch situated between [5:5] 

 and [5:G] as to the Mexican name of the hill, but they said that it 

 has none. However, another Mexican said that he calls it Cer- 

 rito Redondo 'round hill'. See [5:7]. Cf. [5:6], [5:8], [5:9]. 



[5:6] TsanulheM, T-ninqhwaje 'wrestling height' {Tsqi/iq-, see [5:7]; 

 Ice^i, hwaje 'height'). 



This is the height on which the pueblo ruin [5:7] stands. The 

 main wagon road down the Chama River valley east of the river 

 passes between [5:5] and [5:6] and then along the base of [5:6], 

 between [5:6] and [5:8] and [5:9]. Cf. [5:5], [5:7], [5:8], [5:9]. 



[5:7] TsLunq? qyvjiJieJi 'wrestling pueblo ruin' {isqmq. 'to wrestle'; 

 ^qywikeji 'pueblo ruin' < 'o/;?/!i 'pueblo', kejl 'ruin' postpound). 

 The verb tsq,mq is used only in a perfect or past sense; the verb 

 denoting 'wrestling' in the present or future is n,fa. Thus ^/ft/- 

 nfode''' 'they are wrestling with each other' {clitl 'they 3+ with 

 themselves'; ?i./a 'to wrestle'; ^6'''' progressive present); ^ibiisqmq. 

 'they have wrestled with each other' (ditl 'they 3+ with them- 

 selves'; isqmq 'to have wrestled'). The informants thought it 

 likely that the name Tsqmi was originally applied to the pueblo, 

 perhaps because there was at some time in the past a wrestling 

 contest there, and that the other places in the vicinity are named
