words indicating light or faint quality of color; i'* locative and 

 adjoctive-forming posttix). 



The flesh-colored area on the southern slope of the southern 

 peak of JIqhy.s^nnse [6:6] extends to about one-third the height 

 of the mountain on this slope. It has the form of a broad stripe 

 extending east and west. It is seen when looking up Ojo Cali- 

 ente Valley from the vicinity of Ojo Caliente hot springs [6:24]. 

 This earth is said to be of no use. 

 [6:12] (1) Kumqtsihu^'U 'Comanche arroyo' {Kumqtsi 'Comanche'; 

 hti^u 'large groove' 'arroyo'). =Eng. (2), Span. (3). 



(2) Eng. Comanche Creek. (< Span.). =Tewa (1), Span. (3). 



(3) Span. Canada de los Comanches, Canada Comanche, Arro^'o 

 Comanche 'Comanche gulch' 'Comanche arroyo'. =Tewa (1), 

 Eng. (2). "Cailada de los Comanches".' "The situation of 

 Houiri [6:21] is such as to command a fair view for a few miles of 

 the valley of the Canada de los Comanches".' 



The land on both sides of Comanche Creek is dry, rolling, and 

 dotted with piUon trees. There is no water running on the sur- 

 face of the creek bed during most of the year. The old Jutapo 

 or Ute trail [9:17] crosses the KwirmtsiKiC u above [6:14], but just 

 where has not been determined. 



[6:13] Kumqtsihupowui, Kurnqtsip owiU ' the projecting corners or 

 points at the opening or mouth of Comanche arroyo' {Eumqtsi- 

 hii'u, see \Q:W\\j^>'oioiil ' projecting corner or point at the opening 

 or mouth of an arroyo' <p'o 'hole' 'opening', wUl 'projecting 

 corner or point'). This name is said to apply especially to the 

 northern pi'ojection, the southern one, on which the pueblo ruin 

 [6:21], q. v., stands, being also called Howui. Mr. Tomas 

 Lucero still lives on his ranch at Kumatttihup'ovUi north of the 

 mouth of Comanche Creek just as he did when Bandelier visited 

 the locality 30 years ago. "Don Tomas Lucero, who lives near 

 Houiri [6:21]".' As a San Juan Indian said: Toma Luse-iu 

 Kum.qtslp owUi TUj-t'a ' Tomas Lucero lives at [6:13]' {Toma Lus&iv 

 <Span.; Kumqtsip^owUi, see above; nq, 'he'; fa 'to live'). 



[6:14] (1) Buumpiijf ' bread mountain ' (bmra 'any kind of bread'; 

 piyy 'mountain'). =Tewa (2). 



(2) Pqiiipiyf 'bread mountain' (jpqrjf 'bread' <Span. pan 

 'bread'; fiyf 'mountain"). This latter form is said to be the 

 only one used by the San Juan. 



The mountain has the shape of an inverted cheese-box and must 

 have been thought to resemble bread of some kind. It is men- 

 tioned in the Posejevm story. The Sun first spoke to Posejemu's 

 virgin mother at Buwapiyf.
