HARBINGTOX] PLACE-NAMES 253 



Some Indians, however, careless in etymological matters, have 

 attempted to connect the two names. 



Bandelier does not mention this ruin. See excerpt from 

 Hewett, under [15:21]. 



The writer has not visited the site, Init Doctor Hewett and Mr. 

 Jeanfon have kindly located it for hira. Mr. Jean^on writes ': 

 "TewaT as given in Hewett's report [Communaute's] is correct as 

 regards location." 



[15:23] TssewaJi. This name means in the San Juan dialect, and pre- 

 sumably also in the Namb6 dialect, either 'broad white line' or 

 'wide white gap' {tsx 'whiteness' 'white'; uhui ' wide gap', but 

 in the San Juan dialect and presumably also in the Nambe dialect 

 qwadi 'broad line' of the other Rio Grande dialects has become 

 wcui/'). In the other dialects of Rio Grande Tewa the name means 

 only 'wide white gap'. The interpretation of the name in Hano 

 Tewa has not been learned. A conspicuous broad line of soft, 

 whitish rock occurs at this place on both sides of Santa Cruz 

 Canada. Specimens of the I'ock were obtained, but have not yet 

 been analyzed. The Hano Tewa foi'uierly lived at the pueblo 

 [15:24] at this place and the name is probablj^ of Hano Tewa 

 origin. The question whether the Tewa name meant originall}' 

 'white line' or 'white gap' must await answer until it is deter- 

 mined whether the Hano Tewa word meaning 'broad line' is 

 qwaM or wcui. The Nambe form Tstnvcul [23:30] clearly means 

 'yellow gap,' not 'yellow line'. The Tewa commonly translate 

 the name as ' white gap '. At which Tewa village Hewett obtained 

 the following explanation is not known to the writer : 



Tsawari est im mot des Tewas et sigiiifle hande blanche vers le centre. Or, 

 derriere la colline siir laquelle est situe le village, s'eleve un plateau, et une 

 intercalation de rochet' blanches calcaires, au centre de la parol du precipice, 

 donne I'apparence d'une bande blanche autour du rocher. C'est la coutume 

 dea Tewas de donner ii leurs villages des noms qui decrivent leur situation.- 



The pueblo ruin [15:2-1:] has taken its name from this ruin, as 

 Hewett says in the quotation given above. For quoted forms of 

 the name, see under [15:24].

 the name, see the quotation under [15:23]. " Tceewadigi,"' " Tcee-
