220 ETHNOGEOGEAPHY OF THE TEWA INDIANS Ieth. anx. 29 



The connection in w liich this name was originally given was 

 not known to the informants. Tiiis arroyo and its height [12:.^J 

 are reddish in places. The aiTovo is nothing but the upper part 

 of[12:i]. Cf. [12:8]. 



[12:8] San Juan KqpihigPiyhwaje, Kqp)hig.i'y)huHijiiol'u ' red starving 

 arroyo height' 'hills of red starving arroj'o height' {Kopihig.i, 

 see [12:7]; 'i'' locative and adjective-forming postfix; kivaje 

 'height'; 'ol-u 'hilD. 



This reddish height is north and northeast of the arroyo from 

 which it appears to take its name. See [12:7]. 



[12:9] San Juan Jqmpanilq, Jqrnp ciiijlo 'broad willow arroyo' 

 {jqij f 'willow'; ^'a 'broadness' 'broad' 'largeness and flatness' 

 'large and flat', here evidently referring to the shape of a willow 

 tree or a group or number of willow trees; ''igf, ni locative and 

 adjective-forming postfix, the San Juan dialect sometimes having 

 ni for i?;y/ ko 'barranca' 'arroyo with banks'). See [12:13]. 



Whether the name originally applied to the arroyo or to the 

 height [12:13] it is of course impossible to determine. No willow 

 trees were to be seen either in the dry gulch or on the height. 

 See [12:13]. 



[12:10] (!) San Juan TT7>5/,<i 'medicine piles' {wo 'medicine' 'magic'; 

 hUi ' pile ' or ' heap ' of roixndish shape). AVhy tiiis name is applied 

 appeared not to be known to the informants. Perhaps it refers 

 to the occurrence of the medicinal plant referred to by name (2), 

 below. 



(2) San Juan ''AQ.ojo-p'd'oku 'contrayerba hills' i^agojop^e 'con- 

 trayerba' 'Dorstenia contra j^erba', a kind of weed the stalks of 

 which are chewed, the cud being applied to sores and swellings 

 by the Indians <^ag.ojo 'sti\v\p'e 'stick' 'stalk' 'plant'; 'oku- 

 'hill'). 



[12:11] San Juan Paplie'e 'red fish corner', referring to [12:12] {Pap!., 

 see [12:12]; bee 'small low roundish place'). 



[12:12] San Juan Papikwaje 'red fish height', said to be applied 

 because the height looks like the reddish spine of a reddish fish, 

 although the writer could not see the resemblance {pa 'fish'; pi 

 'redness' 'red'; kwije 'height'). 



[12:13] San Juan Jqmp'a/iWaje 'broad willow height' {Jqmp'a, see 

 [12:'.tl; hvrije 'height'. 



[12:1-1] San Juan Tuitq'^/tmj'se^iy 'little shield painting' {iai 'shield'; 

 to'* 'painting'; kinj'sp 'small'; H''' locative and adjective-forming 

 postfix). 



This little hill is as round as a shield and is of reddish and 

 yellowish color as if i)ainted. The 'large shield painting' hill 

 [12:33] is, however, not of shield shape. Cf. [12:15] and [12:33].
