180 ETIINOGEOGEAPHY OF THE TEWA INDIANS [eth. ann. 29 



Juan. 'Taos person' is rendered by PinKoir/.'', Taos people by 

 Pimowi)jj'('i'\ 'it}f, wi\ wiijf locative and adjective-forming 

 posttix). The form Pinsowiyf sounds like 'great mountain 

 mice' while T'awyjf (see above, Tewa (1)), sounds like 'dwell 

 mice' or even 'day mice' {t'a 'day'). 



(3) Taos ^I&lap&lfa, ""t&lapaXha ' down at or at the red wil. 

 lows' 'up at the red willows' ('wk 'willow'<'M- 'willow' cog- 

 nate with Tewa jq>)f 'willow', la 'wood' probabh' cognate with 

 Tewa sojjf 'firewood'; y/ a i 'red'; t'a 'down at' 'over at'; la 

 'up at'). The name seems to refer to oi'tlinary willows, which 

 are reddish, rather than to a peculiar species of willow. Accord- 

 ing to a Taos informant this is the real name of Taos Pueblo. 

 "Red Willowlndians".' ",-Ta-i-na-ma, or willow people '"-—per- 

 haps for ^ LViTindnvl 'willow people' ('/«- 'willow'; idlnaiml 

 ' people"), a form about which no opportunity has been afforded 

 to question a Taos Indian. "Ya'hlahainui])"ahutulba 'red willow 

 place ".""^ No opjiortunity has offered to ask a Taos Indian about 

 this form cither. The first three syllables are evidently 

 ' lalap'tO-; the syllable Vd is probably pa 'water'; the last sjdla- 

 ble Jki is probably ha 'up at'. 



(4) Taos Tudt' a, Tudhd 'down at or at the village' 'up at the 

 village' {tud- 'house' 'houses' 'village' 'pueblo', cognate with 

 Tewa /<; 'dwelling-place"; t'a 'down at' 'at'; ha 'up at"). It is 

 probably from the form Tud that Span. Taos is derived. See 

 Tewa (1), above, and Span. ('^2), below. "Taos, or Te-uat-ha'"." 

 "Taos, Te-uat-ha"".^ "Tegat-ha"." Bandelier has here "ega" 

 for M. "Tila-ta"".= "Tai-ga-tah".' This spelling has "ai-ga" 

 for nd^. The oi-thography is perhaps French and ai stands per- 

 haps for the sound of e, wjiich u resembles; the g is for v\ as in 

 Bandelier's form, above. 



(5) Taos Kitudwal 'our pueblo' {ki . . . wai 'our'; tud as in 

 Taos (4), above). 



(6) Taos Tdlndrrui 'the people', referring especiallj" to the Taos 

 people. This form is also postpoundcd to the Taos names for 

 Taos Pueblo given above in order to render 'Taos people'. 

 Thus, for instance, ^ Idlap ditdlndmq,, ''Idlap'dWcddindmq,, 

 '' Idlap^ dlhdtdlndmq . ' ' Taiinamu '". ^
