192 ETHNOGEOGEAPHY OF THE TEWA INDIANS [etu. anx. 29 



[8:88J (1) Pyjwi'oijwi "moLintaiii-j^ap pueblo' [pijjf 'mountiiitr; ivPi 

 'gap' 'pass'; ''qywi 'pueblo'). The form with no other word 

 postpounded is PiijirPL 'Picuris person' is regularly enough 

 FiijicPP'; 'Picuris people', Piywi''ii)f ('?7% 'i^y locative and 

 adjective-forming postfix). =Jemez (8). Ping-gwi' 'gateway' 

 of the mountains' ".* Picuris can hardly be said to be situated in 

 a gap in the mountains, and whj' the Tewa and Jemez names and 

 perhaps some of the unexplained names should mean 'mountain 

 gap' has not been made clear. Cf. T' awii 'dwell gap", the Tewa 

 name for Taos Pueblo [8:4.jj. 



(2) Taos " Wilana."^ =Picuris (4). 



(3) Taos "Hiututa."' 



(4) Picuris: " Picuries, the aboriginal names of which are both 

 Ualana and Ping-ul-tha."* "Picuries, Ualana, also Ping-ul-tha.'"'' 

 "We-la-tah."« = Taos (2). Cf. [8:4.5], (8). 



(5) Picuris: "Pinuelta".' "Pi°weltha 'Picuris Pueblo.""" 

 "Pi°welene 'Picuris people."" 



(6) Sandia "Sam-nan."' Cf. Isleta (7). This is apparently a 

 plural form and may mean 'Picuris people.' 



(7) Isleta "Sam-mi'i";i cf. Sandia (t3). 



(S) Jemez Pekwiletd 'at the mountain gap' {pe 'mountain'; 

 hiolle 'gap' 'pass'; ta locative). =Tewa (1). " Pe"kwilita'.""' 

 A Picuris person is called Pekwile; two or more Picuris people 

 are called PeJiirilef. One also says, for instance, Pehri/eiehl 

 'Picuris old man' (beid ' old man"), Pekuuletscfdf '' Ficuvis people' 

 {fsd'af ' people '). Pe is cognate with Tewa pwf ' mountain ' ; kwl- 

 is cognate with Tewa wPi ' gap.' 



(y) Jemez Ota of obscure etj-mology. Otafsd'df means 

 ' Picuris people ' {tscTdf ' people '). This name was obtained from 

 one Jemez Indian only. If it is correct, it maj' be that Of5ate"s 

 "Acha"' (Span. (17), below) is a corruption of this name. 



(10) Pecos "Pe"kwilita'.'"' This is given as the Jemez and 

 Pecos name. 



(11) Cochiti Plkuri. The informant volunteered the informa- 

 tion that this is merely the Span, name pronounced as it is by 

 Cochiti Indians. In New Mexican Span, the final s is usually 

 faint or has disappeared altogether. Mexicans commonly' say 

 Pikuri for the written form Picuris. =Sia (12), Keresan (13), 

 Eiig. (15), and Span. (IG).
