PLACE-NAMES 181 



(7) " 'Indian name' Takhe".' "Taos (in der eigenen Sprache 

 Takhe genannt)" ''Taxe"'.^ It may be that tlie forms used by 

 Gatschet and toi» are based on Loew's form. Loew's orthog- 

 rapiiy and inform-ucion are often incorrect. For Taos tila-? 



(S) Taos "Wee-ka-nahs".* According to the authority' 

 from which many of the synonyms of Taos herein tited are taken, 

 this name is given by Joseph as the Taos Indians' own tribal name 

 for themselves. Misprint and error? See [8:88], (2), (4). 



(9) Picuris "Tuopa'"." This spelling is probably for a form 

 identical with TuciM; see Taos (4), above. '" Tuopa ' the northern 

 one'."' This spelling is probably also for a form identical with 

 Tudhd; see Taos (4), above. 



(10) Picuris "Kwapihalki 'Taos Pueblo.' It means 'chief 

 houses or village'. Mywi is the present word for chief. 

 Kwapihal was an old word for chief".' 



(11) Sandia"T6wirnin".'' 



(12) Isleta"Tuwirat".« 



(13) Jemez Ju'ldtd of obscure etymology {Ju'Id 'Taos Indian'; 

 to, locative). There is reason to believe that locative post-tixes 

 other than td may also be used, but no record of such forms 

 appears in the writer's Jemez notes. Ju'Ia means 'Taos Indian,' 

 'Taos person'. For 'Taos Indians' 'Taos people' either the 

 plural t/«7tf/ or the compound JuHdFsd'df {fsd'df 'people') is 

 used. "Yulata"." This form is given as the Jemez and Pecos 

 name of the pueblo, 



(14) Pecos "Yuliita"." As Hodge suggests, Span. (25), below, 

 may come from this form. There is a Jemez locative ending ho. 

 Perhaps the forms Span. (2.5) come from a hypothetical Pecos 

 iTii'ldhd. 



(15) Cochiti Tfetfjohotsx 'north corner place' {tfetf 'north'; 

 f6%o 'corner'; <.sve locative). Tfetffoko 'north corner' refers 

 to the whole northern corner of the Pueblo Indian country, 

 to the whole Taos region. The Span, name Taos (see Span. (22) ) 

 is probably also used in the Cochiti language. 



(16) Sia "Tausame 'Taos people'".' This is probably from 

 Span. Taos + mas 'people'. 



(17) Laguna "Ta-uth".^
