of a table, for instance.

postpound). 



The ruin is on the mesa [5:21] and at the foot of the hill 



[5:20]. The San Juan informant who pointed out the site of this 



pueblo ruin said that he guessed it got its name from the hill 



[5:20], which the ancient Tewa may have thought resembles a 



cicada's head. Cf. [2:l0], [5:20], and [5:21].

Cf. [5:21]; also the similarly sounding names K'apo, Santa 



Clara Pueblo [14:71], and "Kapo", a Tano Tewa pueblo ruin 



[29:unlocatod]. The latter name may be but probably is not 



identical. 

 This is described as a large pueblo ruin. Cf. [5:22], [5:21-]. 

 [5:23] Kapo^ijwil'eji 'leaf, water pueblo ruin' {hi 'leaf; po 'water'; 



'oywikeji 'pueblo ruin'<o?;?P^ 'pueblo', keji 'ruin' postpound). 

 Where the leafy water is situated from which this pueblo ruin 



gets its name, is not known. The name may be taken from that 



of the arroyo [5:22], or vice versa.
