Tsipiwri is a ruin situated on the southern rim of the mesa 

 east of the gap from which it takes its name, according to Doctor 

 Hewett, by whom it is described.'

 [Piije, see [14:46]; Hyj' locative and adjective-forming postfix; 

 /.■qkii'u 'arroyo with barrancas' <Iq 'barranca', Aw'w 'large 

 groove' 'arroyo'). 



The two chief head waters, or rather head gulches, of this 

 arroyo unite just south of the western extremity of the mesa 

 [14:4.5] to form Puj elq /> tt u ■proi^er.

'denseness' 'dense' 'forest'; ho.ii 'large roundish pile', possibly 



referring here to a hill, but more probably referring to a grove). 



The Santa Clara informant insists that this is a regular place 



name.

 {hy, 'one-seeded juniper' 'Juniperus monosperma'; he^e 'small 

 low roundish place'). Cf. [14:43].

 seeded juniper' {Hybe^e, see [14:42]; hwaje 'height').

"Puye is a I'ock of grayish-yellow tufa, 6,750 feet long, vary- 

 ing in width from 90 to 700 feet. It is a fragment of the great 

 tufaceous blanket that once covered the entire Pajarito plateau 

 to a thickness of from 50 to 500 feet."' See [14:46]. 



[14:46] Santa Clara Puje'iiyunleji probably 'pueblo ruin where the 

 rabbits meet or assemble' (pu, prol)ably 'cottontail rabbit'; je 

 probably 'to meet' 'to assemble'; 'y,r)irU-<ji 'pueblo ruin' 

 <''y.ywi 'pueblo' (Santa Clara dialectic form of Tewa 'o7??ri), heji 

 'old' postpound). This etymology is not certain, although it is 

 given by Tewa Indians when asked to etymologize the word. The 

 Santa Clara pronounce piije with rising-falling tone of the last 

 syllable, while ;V' 'to meet' has a level tone. One informant sug-
