place. It is here that one of the chief ancient foot-trails con- 

 necting San lidefonso and Cochiti Pueblos leaves the lowlands by 

 the Rio Grande. This trail runs direcllj south from San lide- 

 fonso Pueblo up through the gap |19:(')3] and southwcstward 

 through the hills [19:102]. Clay similar to that dug at [19:31] is 

 obtained at this place; just where could not be learned. At this 

 place, or more precisely at the western foot of [19:t>3], is a ledge 

 of rock which is used for making the handstones (manos) for 

 metates; see [19:<13]. A large cottonwood tree stands just soutii 

 of the place on the north Ijank of the arroyo [19:<iS]. The place 

 has given names to [19:61], [19:62], [19:63]', and [19:<;4]. 



[19:61] San lidefonso Tamcd-ofji'yuhu'u 'corner by [19:60]" {Tamakqqe, 

 see [19:60]; i7;y locative and adjective-forming posttix; ^/rw'lai-ge 

 low roundish place'). This name is given to the low, cultivated 

 land immediately west of [19:60]. 



[19:62] San lidefonso Tamakqge'olu 'hills of [19:60]" (Tamakoge, see 

 [19:60]; 'oku 'hill'). 



These hills lie south of the gap [19:65]. Somewhere at the 

 western foot of the hills, called in Tewa Ttnmil-qge'ohmuhi {niiu 

 'below' 'at the foot of) is a ledge of rock which is used by 

 the San lidefonso Indians for making manos for metates. This 

 kind of stone is called merely saijwselc u 'sandstone' {sqywse 'sand- 

 stone'; hu 'stone'). 



[19:63] San lidefonso TamaJcQgewPi 'gap by [19:60]' {Tamakqg.e^ see 

 [19:60]; vA'i 'gap'). 



This gap is north of the hills [19:62] and through it the San 

 Ildefonso-Cochiti trail passes; see under [19:6'±]. Through this 

 gap runs the arroyo [19:64]. 



[19:64] San lidefonso Tamakogekqhuu 'arroyo bj^ [19:60]" {Tama- 

 hqge, see [19:6(»]; kqhiPu 'arroyo with barrancas' <kq 'barranca', 

 Aw'm 'large groove' 'arroyo'). 



[19:65] San lidefonso TefvJu, 7e/i/6?/,'« 'cottonwood tree point' 'cor- 

 ner by cottonwood tree point' {Te 'cottonwood' 'Populus wisli- 

 zeni'; fwu 'horizontally projecting corner or point'; hiCu 'large 

 low roundish place'). The name and place are said to be distinct 

 from [19:16]. 



The land at this place is low and is cultivated. A house belong- 

 ing to Mr. Ignacio Aguilar of San lidefonso stands in Tamakqqe 

 [19:60] very near where the latter joins TefiCu. 



[19:66] San lidefonso FoJag.e 'the island' 'in the midst of the waters' 



{po 'water'; jag.e 'in the middle of). It is said that after heavy 



rains the land at this place is more or less Hooded; hence the name. 



This place consists of low, cultivated land. The place probably 



gives the name to [19:67].
