HARRINGTON] PLACE-KAMES

[19:34] San Ildefonso Supok'e 'where the arrow water starts' {su 

 'arrow'; po 'water'; k'e 'to start to move'). Why this name, 

 which seems peculiar even to the Indians, is applied, is not 

 known. No water starts at the place. The name is given to the 

 locality west of [19:33] and south of [19:26]. 

 [19:3.5] San Ildefonso ffuma'okuoi obscure eiymoiogy (tfuma \xnex- 

 plained; 'oku ' hill'). A number of unanalyzable place-names end 

 in 7na. This name is applied to the long ridge, extending north 

 and south, which has a horizontal streak [19:36] on its western side. 

 It is much higher than the low chain of hills between it and the 

 Rio Grande. There is no other hill as near San Ildefonso as 

 ffama, which is nearly as high as fj'uma. The northern end of 

 'fl'uma rises immediately south of T'aba'a [19:41]. See [19:36], 

 [i9:T0], to which this place gives names. 

 [19:36] San WMonBoff'umapiqu-aJi. Piqvxui 'the large red line of 

 [19:35]' 'the large red line' {ffuma, see [19:35]; pi 'redness' 

 'red'; qvjcui 'large or broad line', contrasting with qwui 'small 

 or thin line'). 



This horizontal reddish line on the west side of Tfuina is very 

 conspicuous. See [19:35]. 

 [19:37] San Ildefonso NetoqonsultVdcqvm'iwe ' place by Nestor Gon- 

 zales" house' {Netoqonmle < Span. Nestor Gonzales; ^>^■ possessive; 

 • teqwa 'house' < te 'dwelling place', qwa denoting state of being 

 a receptacle; ^me locative). 



Mr. Nestor Gonzales, a ISIexican about 40 years of age, has 

 lived here with his family for years. Mr. Gonzales speaks Tewa 

 to some extent and is especially liked by the Indians. This desig- 

 nation of the locality is much used. 

 [19:38] San Ildefonso Potdfuhi 'muddy point' (potsi 'mud'.< po 

 'water', ("s* 'to cut through' 'to ooze through'; /m'm 'horizon- 

 tally projecting point or corner'). It is said that the marsh is 

 called thus because it runs out in a point toward the east. This 

 marsh is just south of [19:14] and entirely on the south side of 

 the creek. There is a pool or spring almost in the middle of the 

 marshy place; see [19:3^t]. 

 [19:39] (1) San Ildefonso FoUifupopi 'spring of the muddy point' 

 referring to [19:38] {Pot.nfu'u, see [19:38]; popi 'spring' < po 

 ' water', pi ' to issue'). 



(2) San Ildefonso T^ampijepolwi 'lake of the east" {t'qvipije 

 'east' < t'qy'f 'sun', pije 'toward'; pokwi 'lake' 'pool' < po 

 'water*, hiri unexplained). For the reason that this n!',me is ai> 

 plied, see below. These names refer to a small pool of water on
