HAKRINGTON] PLACE-NAMES 307 



This is a circular room, entirely above ground. It formerly 

 stood iu the middle of the plaza of the pueblo, before the pueblo 

 was sliifted toward the north. Cf. [19:23]. 

 [19:2.-)J Sanlldeionso Misate, Po(/wog.e7msateHhechuroh' 'the church 

 of [19:22]' {misate 'church' <m,im <Span. misa, Roman Catholic 

 mass', tt 'dwelling place', 'house'; Poqwoge, see[19:22]). Of the 

 church at San Ildefonso Bandelier says: 



The church ... of San Ildefonso is posterior to 1700.' After the uprising 

 of 1G96, when the church was ruined by fire, the village was moved a short 

 di.xtance farther north, and the present church is located almost in front of the 

 site of the older one, to the north of it.^ 



The present church faces southward. About the front of the 

 church is the graveyard, few of the graves of which are marked 

 in any way. In interring a body bones of other bodies are usu- 

 ally dug up. The San Ildefonso call the graveyard by the u.sual 

 vfovA: 2)enibe\' ' little corner of the corpses' {jyeni 'corpse'; Se'e 

 'small low roundish place' 'corner'). 



Mr. Dionisio Ortega, of Santa Fe, informed the writer that sev- 

 eral years ago at Ranchos [19:50] he obtained some religious images 

 which were said to have come from the old church of San Ilde- 

 fonso, the one destroyed in 1696. That they came from the old 

 church seems improbable. Indians have said that carved beams 

 from the old church were in possession of some of the Indians a 

 few years ago. The site of the old church, south of that of the 

 present church, is known to many of the Indians. See [19:22]. 

 [19:26] San Ildefonso fadawe, fudawehun 'where it is curled up 

 when it dries,' 'corner where it is curled up when it dries,' 

 referring to mud (ta 'to dry' 'dryness' 'dry'; dawe 'to be curled 

 up' 'to have risen up curlingly'). The name refers to the crack- 

 ing and curling up of the surface layer of drying mud such as 

 one often sees in New Mexico and elsewhere and sees in drying 

 puddles at this very place. One says commonly of this phe- 

 nomenon 7i<ipo ndia 'the mud is dry' {7iq.po 'mud' <?i(l unex- 

 plained, po 'water'; n/i 'it'; ia 'to be dry'); nqpo nqtadawe 'the 

 mud is dry and curled up' {nqpo 'mud' <n(l unexplained, po 

 'water'; mi 'it'; ta' to dry' 'to be dry'; dawe 'to be curled up'). 



The name is applied to all the locality immediately south of the 

 southern houserow of the pueblo about the southern estufa [19:24]. 

 The place is entirely west of the main wagon road which leads 

 south from San Ildefonso and extends indefinitely to the west to 

 a point perhaps about south of the church [19:25]. A large Cot- 

 tonwood a couple of hundred yards south of the southern house- 

 row marks the southern extremity of the locality. This locality
