to whom this stone was shown and explained. All knowledge of 

 it is kept from outsiders with scrupulous care. Cf. [18:>!], to 

 which this stone gives the name. 



[18:8] San Ildefonso Tm'b'jod.huku'ijjfhitu, Tmiijodehu'u 'arroyo of 

 the stone on which the giant rubbed his penis' 'arroyo of the 

 giant's Y>enis^ (Tsiii/Jodehuku, Tsaiijode, see [18:7]; 'i'» locative 

 and adjective-forming postfix; hK^u 'large groove' 'arroyo'). 



The arroyo begins near [18:7] and takes its name from the 

 latter. The ]\Iexicans are said to refer to it as Arroyo Seco 'dry 

 arroyo' if they give it a name. The arroyo enters the Rio 

 Grande just north of Holiart's ranch [18:11]; it is perhaps some- 

 times included under the name T' un,/Jopseij[/ehi(''u, see [18:10]. 



[18:9] San Ildefonso and Santa Clara QuJapig^e' oyioikeji 'Tp^eblo vmn 

 of the red house-wall(s)' ((^wr? 'house-wall'; pi 'redness' 'red'; 

 ge 'down at' 'over at'; ^oywilceji 'pueblo ruin' <'o)jwi 'pueblo'; 

 keji 'old' postpouud). 



Whapige (maison du clan du faucon a la queue rouge), reconnii par les Po- 

 whoges [San Ildefonso Indians] eomme la maison d'undeleurs clans, ^I'^poque 

 de Perage. Ce clan (Whapitowa) existe encore a San Ildefonso.' 



Hewett's informants confuse the first part of the name with 

 gwseinfn 'red-tailed hawk.' Early in November, 1911, Mr. J. A. 

 Jean^on told the writer that Santa Clara Indians had informed 

 him that the Tewa name of this pueblo ruin means "place of the 

 lazy people." In a letter dated November 15. 1911, Mr. Jeantj-tm 

 writes: 



I have had the Santa Clara people repeat the name a number of times and 

 to my untrained ear I get '^Wahpie, which they say means the "Place of the 

 Painted Walls." I misunderstood about the meaning "Lazy People." Itseems 

 that the people of that place were very lazy, and that when people of other 

 places were lazy they were told to go to ''Wahpie. This does not refer to the 

 name, however. This information was corroborated by Ancieto (?) Suaso, 

 Nestor Naranjo, Victor Naranjo, Pueblo (?) Vaca, Pablo Silva, and Geronimo 

 Tafoya. All of these were questioned apart and without any intimation that 

 any one else had been spoken to about the name. 



Doctor Ilewett kindly located the ruin on the sheet, but it is 

 doubtless placed too far south. Hewett describes its location 

 very indefinitely: 



A quelques milles au nord de Tuyo [18:19], a la base de collines de sable, et 

 vis-a-vis de Santa Clara [14:71], on voit I'emplacement de Whapige. ' 



Mr. J. M. Naranjo, an aged Santa Clara Indian, stated that there 

 is a pueblo ruin at "La Mesilla [15:2s] — this was Qwapi and the 

 people were T'ii?iu.'^ It was not known to the writer's San Ildefonso 



' Hewett, CommunautSs, p, 33, 1908.
