of tiiuefi, but this is pvobiiljly not correct. The name is applied, 

 it is said, to the localitj^ in the immediate vicinity of the spring 

 [19:73] and is not ecjuivalent to [19:70|. Cf. [19:71], [19:73]. 



[19:73] San Ildefonso Tfepei 'po '•tlie water at [19:72]' {Tfeini'v^ 

 see [19:72]- po 'water'). This name refers to a spot in the bed 

 of [19:71] where water can always be obtained by digging in the 

 sand a few feet. Since the water at most times of the year does 

 not How forth of its own accord, the place is not called a spring. 

 See [19:72]. 



[19:74] San Ildefonso Pynpije'\m,p op^ axoekqhC u 'northern arroyo of 

 the place, with the hole through it' {pimpije 'north' < pyjf 

 'mountain' 'up country', pije 'toward'; ^\yf locative and adjec 

 tive-forming posttix; P'op'awe, see [19:75]; lo/n/ti 'arroyo with 

 barrancas' < /iQ 'barranca', Au''u 'large groove' 'arroyo'). For 

 the southern P'op'awelokii^u, see [19:87]. 

 The arroyo must not be confused with [19:77]. 



[19:75] San Ildefonso P' op' dire, P'op'awe'i'' 'the hole which goes 

 through' 'place of the hole which goes through' {/io 'hole'; 

 p'awe 'to go completely through'; T' locative and adjective-form- 

 ing posttix). 



At the spot indicated, at the western end of the ridge, near 

 the summit, a small eroded hole passing completely through the 

 ridge was formerly to be seen. There was a cave-in here many 

 years ago (more than fifty according to one informant) but the 

 place where the hole was is still remembered and the name is 

 still used. The site of the hole is a short distance southeast 

 otPoqwawil [19:70]. The hole gives names to [19:74], [19:76], 

 [19:87], and [19:91]. 



[19:7ii] San lUlefonso P'np^awioku 'hills of the hole which goes 

 through', referring to [19:75] {P'op'awe, see [19:75]; 'oku 'hill"). 

 There are two chief ridges, parallel to each other, I'alled by this 

 name. The hole [19:75] from which the name is taken is at the 

 western end of the more northerly of these two hills. See [19:91]. 



[19:77] San Ildefonso Poqwaankqlnt^u 'ariwoof water reservoir gap' 

 referring to [19:78] {PoqivatvPi, see [19:78]; kq/m'ii 'arroyo with 

 barrancas' < ko 'barranca', A«'« 'large groove' 'arroj'o'). 

 This small arroyo runs into [19:71] from the south. 



[19:78] San Ildefonso Foqwrnoii 'gap of the water reservoir' (popva 

 'water reservoir' 'hollow where water collects' < po 'water', 

 qwa denoting state of being a receptacle; wT/ 'gap'). 



No reservoir or water-hole of any kind could be found at the 

 place, and the informants said that they had never heard of the 

 existence of any. Why the place is called thus is not known. 

 The place gives names to [19:77] and [19:79].
