PLACE-NAMES 161 



[6:16] (1) Posipiyf 'greenness mountain', referring to Ojo Caliente 

 hot springs [6:24]' (Po.y/, see [6:24]; pi^y 'mountain'). 



(2) Eng. Ojo Caliente Mountain. (<Span.)(3). = Span. (3). 



(3) Span. Cerro Ojo Caliente 'hot spring mountain'. =Eng. 

 (2). Mexicans regularly give the mountain this name. 



This mountain is about as high as the highest (the north) peak 

 of [6:6] and can be seen from afar, especially from the southwest, 

 where there is nothing to hide it. It was said by Mexicans 

 living on the lower Chama River to mark the site of Ojo Caliente. 

 Cf.^[6:l7]. 



[6:17] P<^«/fn!;y'6 'little greenness mountain' {Pofi/\ see [6:24]; piijj' 

 ' mountain'; 'f diminutive). 

 This hill rises just west of the pueblo ruin [6:1S] Cf. [6:16]. 



[6:18] San Juan Ifitpotl'oipvikeji 'pueblo ruin of the iiower of the 

 one-seeded juniper' (hy, 'one-seeded juniper' 'Jvuiiperus mono- 

 sperma', commonly called sabina in Span, and "cedar" in Eng.; 

 2)oil 'iiower'; ■qi)iviJi:eji 'pueblo ruin' <''ojjici 'pueblo', l-ejl 

 'ruin' postpound). "Ho-mayo".' "Homayo".^ Bandelier uses 

 the spelling "Ho-mayo" once and the spelling ''Homayo'' a 

 number of times; he does not give the meaning of the name. 

 Hewett evidently copies Bandelier's spelling and name. That 

 HupoVi- is the name of this pueblo ruin is generally known among 

 the older San Juan Indians. "Homayo", whatever Tewa form it 

 may stand for, is certainly a mistake. San Juan Indians have sug- 

 gested Tomajo, the name of the large mountain [3:11] when 

 "Homayo" has been pronounced to them. The sound ^ might 

 easily not be heard, or it might be taken for h by an ear unused to 

 Tewa; or "Homayo" may be for h^imajo 'good one-seeded juni- 

 per' {hy, 'one-seeded juniper'; inajo 'good' 'tip-top' 'chief'), 

 although none of the San Juan informants had ever heard such a 

 name as hymajo. Ilyjidb),- is the name for this pueblo ruin current 

 at San Juan, and until someone proves that a second name for 

 it resembling "Homayo" exists, we may remain sceptical. 

 "■IIn/wWoTjiri is an old Tewa pueblo," said a San Juan Indian, 

 "companion to ffoiri,ipqtjv-i [6:21 ]". Another San Juan informant 

 volunteered the information that Posejemii, a hero or god of the 

 Tewa, lived at IIiipoW oijiri. This information was given under 

 such circumstances that it could not be followed up by further ques- 

 tioning. Hypd^i and Hotoiii [6:21] are said to lie farthest north 

 of all pueblos. The ruin has been described by Bandelier ^ and 

 by Hewett ^
