152 ETHNOGEOGEAPHY OF THE TEWA INDIANS [eth. ANN. 29 



wUi. St. Cecilia once appeared to some Mexican soldiers near 

 Las Truchas [22:11]. The soldiers followed her across the liio 

 Grande and across Chamita [13:28]. At last she passed through 

 a hole in Pow(iwulpir)f. The soldiers found her shoe on the 

 other side. 

 [5:35] (1) P^ese-iepo 'shove stick creek' \P'ese-ie, see [5:37]; po 

 'water' 'creek'). This is the old Tewa name of the creek. 



(2) Kepo 'bear creek' (Zv?'bear'; po 'water' 'creek'). This is 

 a mere translation of Span, (i), but is frequently used nowadaj^s. 

 = Eno-. (3), Span. (4). 



(3) Eng. Oso Creek. (<Span.). =Tewa (2), Span. (4). 



(4) Span. Hito Oso, Kio Oso 'bear creek' 'bear river'. The 

 Span, name is often pronounced Joso by native Span, speakers of 

 New Mexico. 



Although the et3rmology of P^e^iiMe is discussed under [5:37], it 

 is quite possible that the pueblo ruin [5:37] takes its name from 

 the creek. Oso Creek flows into Chama River nearly opposite, 

 but somewhat above, the point at which Ojo Caliente Creek joins 

 the latter from the northeast and just opposite the big projecting 

 tongue of land PowqwUi [5:33]. See [5:37]. 



[5:36] ''AsifJiiCu 'alkali arroyo' {'qsse- 'alkali' <'4 'alkali', sx 'pep- 

 periness ' ' peppery ' ; hu^u ' large groove ' ' arroyo '). 



[5:37] P eHe-i^qyuiiJiiji 'shove stick pueblo ruin' {pe 'stick' 'log' 

 'timber'; sede 'to shove or push away from one's self with little 

 jerks'; 'qt;?^)^^'^/^ 'pueblo ruin' < ''qyioi 'pueblo', l-e;^ 'ruin' post- 

 pound) (PI. 3, A.^ Nq, -lopese^ie means 'I push the stick or 

 log in little jerks' {n4 'I' emphatic jironoun; jo 'I it'; jie 'stick' 

 'log' incorporated object; seJ-e 'to shove or push away from one's 

 self with little jerks'). N<i J-opese would mean 'I push the stick 

 from me steadily, not in jerks'). Cf. [5:35], [5:38]. "Indians of 

 San Juan have given me the names of some of the ruined pueblos 

 that lie on the mesas west and south of the Chama River; for in- 

 stance, Fe-se-re and Te-e-uing-ge".' This is the only reference 

 which Bandelier makes to this ruin. Hewett does not seem to 

 mention it at all. "Pesede-uinge (Tewa, the place of the sliding 

 log)",^ for P'ese.ie'orj'wige 'down at or over at the shove stick jerk- 

 ingly pueblo' i^oywi 'pueblo'; ge 'down at' 'over at'). 



There is much information about P'ese-ie^qywikeji in two articles 

 by Mr. J. A. Jeancon ^ which have recently appeared. See [5 :3S].
