 dells' {huli'cE. 'coarse gravel'; hi'u Marge low roundish place'; 

 hu'u 'large groove' 'arroyo'). Cf. Span. (3). 



(2) Eng. "Otowi canj^on".^ This is evidently the same can- 

 yon. For the etymology of "Otowi" see [16:105].

 or were enclosed' {psp. 'mule-deer'; to 'to be inside or in'; hvo 

 'to be' said of 3 + ; li-wa^.e 'mesa'). The name is applied, it is 

 said, because the walls of the mesa are so steep that deer on the 

 top of the mesa were as if impounded in a corral. The eastern 

 extremity of this mesa bears the ancient name Tfvg.erf'uhi; see 

 [16:104].

 Referring to Otowi Mesa, Hewett^ says: 



Half a mile to the south [of [16:105]] the huge me-sa which is terminated 

 Viy Rincon del Pueblo bounds the valley with a hi};h unbroken line, per- 

 haps 500 feet above the dry arro}'o at the bottom. The same distance to the 

 north is the eqiially high and more abrupt Otowi mesa, and east and west 

 an equal distance and to about an equal height rise the wedge-like terminal 

 buttes which define this great gap [16:106] in the middle mesa. 



PotnuwiH ruin is merely mentioned by Bandelier;^ it is fully 

 described b_v Hewett.' Of the location of the ruin Hewett says: 



The parallel canyons [16:102] and [16:100] running through this glade 

 [16:106] are prevented from forming a confluence by a high ridge, the rem-
