HAttiuNGTON] PLACE-NAMES 233 



[14:1S] Santa Cruz Creek, see [15:18]. 



[14:19J Santa Clara Ty^ywii'jokqhu'u 'high arroyo' {ty.yivsejo 'very 

 high ' < ty,r)wx ' high ', jo augmentative; kohu'u ' arroyo with bar- 

 rancas ' <Z?o 'barranca', hu'u 'large groove '' arroyo '). Why 

 this name is applied was not Ivnown to the informants. 



[14:20] (1) Santa Clara Potsipq,'it/e 'down at the mud string place' 

 (potsi 'mud' <po 'water', tsi unexplained; fw's 'thread' 

 'string' 'cord', used also figuratively; g.e 'down at' 'over at'). 

 Span, (-l) is a corruption of this name. The Santa Claras of the 

 present da}' do not fidly understand the meaning of the name, 

 and the informants have puzzled much over it. The reference is 

 perhaps to a muddy string, or to mud lying in the form of a 

 string. The word potsi is applied to any mud except regularly 

 made adobe mud, the latter being called napofa. 



(2) ^ukeji 'old town' {bu'u 'town'; Iceji 'old' postpound). 

 This name is felt to be the opposite of Butsqbi'i'', Espafiola 

 [14:16], the latter name meaning ' new town'. The name Bukeji 

 is used especially in conversation when it is feared that Mexicans 

 would overhear and understand Guachepanque. 



(3) Eng. Guachepanque. (<Span.). =Tewa (1), Span. {■i). 



(4) Span. Guachepanque. (<Tewa (1)). =Tewa (1), Eng. (3). 

 The settlement of Guachepanque lies mostly on the edge of the 



low mesa. The Santa Claras distinguish the lowlands l.ying in 

 this vicinity by the river as Potsipq'egenug,e, see [14:21]. The 

 Santa Claras usually pass through Guachepanque when going to 

 Espafiola. If talking Span., they sometimes use low tones when 

 passing this place, for fear that the Mexicans will overhear. 

 This is, of course, mere sentiment. 



[14:21] Santa Clara Potsi p<i'i</enug.e 'down below the mud string 

 place', referring to [14:20] (Potsipq'if/e, see [14:20]; nu'u 'below'; 

 g.e ' down at' 'over at'). As explained under [14:20], this name 

 is applied to the lowlands by the river at [14:20]. 



[14:22] Santa Clara Peak, see [2:13]. 



[14:23] Pitepiyf 'loathsome penis mountain ' {pi for pida ' head of the 

 penis'; te 'loathsomeness' 'loathsome'; pijjf 'mountain'). 



[14:24:] (1) ICapopohu'u^ K'apo^impokiHu, K' apopotsi' i , ICapo''impo- 

 fsl'i 'creek of Santa Clara Pueblo [14:71]' 'canyon of Santa 

 Clara Pueblo [14:71]' {K'apo, see [14:71]; 'i'j.f locative and ad-

 'water', A (('if 'large groove' 'arroyo'; potei'-i ' canyon witli water 

 in it' <po 'water', fs'Pi 'canyon'). PohiPu is used of the more 

 open, potsiH of the more closed-in, parts of the creek. Merely 

 pohit'u or pofsi^i is often used by the Santa Claras, it being under- 

 stood to which creek or canyon the I'eference is made. Santa Clara 

 Creek is appropriately named, for Santa Clara Pueblo is at its
