HARRINGTON] PLACE-NAMES 205 



San Juan PopcibV oywikeji 'squash flower pueblo ruin' {po 'squash' 

 'pumpkin'; prit'i 'flower'; ■Qijwikeji 'pueblo ruin' <^oyvA 

 'pueblo', I'eji 'ruin', postpound). This name was known to 

 three San Juan informants. They agreed that this ' ruin ' is lo- 

 cated somewhere near Sfrfu^or/wil-eji [9:23]. It may be the 

 nameless and problematic ruin [9:27] the name of which the in- 

 formant could not remember. At any rate it is almost certain 

 that it is the name for which Bandelier's "Pho-jiu" is intended. 



[10] OLD SAN JUAN SHEET 



This sheet (map 10) shows a tract just north of San Juan Pueblo. One 

 pueblo ruin, Old San Juan [10:26], is included, from which the sheet 

 has been named. 



[10:1] Canoe Mesa, see [13:1]. 



[10:2] San Juan Qwahe-ii, see [13:3]. 



[10:3] Tsempo 'eagle gap trail', so called because it passes north of 

 but near [7:24] (TsewPi, see [7:2-t]; po 'trail'). 



This is an old trail. It is the one frequently taken when going 

 by trail from the vicinity of San Juan to Ojo Caliente or El Kito 

 regions. The trail winds its way up Canoe Mesa [10:1] just l)ack 

 of NQDijJoniiu [10:1] and almost directly opposite the old ruin of 

 P Poge [9:43]. The trail is perhaps also called by the San Juan 

 jYqmp'onupo {Nqmp'onwu, see [10:4]; po 'trail'). It is probablj' 

 to this trail that Bandelier' refers when he sa\'s: "A tniil leads 

 across it [Canoe Mesa] to the Rio Grande from Ojo Caliente". 



[10:4] (1) San Juan ]V(imp'onu\i 'down at the holes in the earth", 

 referring to holes of some sort in the ground at the foot of the 

 cliff of Canoe Mesa [10:1] at this place {nqyf 'earth'; p'o 'hole'; 

 nii'u 'below', applied to distinguish the place from the height of 

 Canoe Mesa [10:1], which overhangs it). 



(2) Eng. Estaca settlement. (<Span.). =Span. (3). 



(3) Span. Estaca 'the stake'. =Eng. (2). In what connection 

 this name is applied is unknown. "La Staka".^ 



The most southerly house of this place is the large residence of 

 Mr. Juan Lopez, which is approximately opposite Alcalde [10:15]; 

 the place extends to the north to the point at which the Tscwipo 

 trail [10:3] climbs the mesa. The hill or slope called QwalceM 

 [10:2] lies between the place and the cliff of the mesa [10:1]. 

 [10:."^] San Juan ^Awap'abii'u, see [9:45].
