 'li/./ locative and adjective-forming- postfix; P'oj/awe,^<i [19:75]; 

 'kqhu'u 'arrovo with barrancas' </o 'barranca", JuCu 'large 

 groove' 'arroj^o'). Cf. [19:74]. 

 This arroyo is very large. Its lower end is at [19:67]. 

 [19:88] San Ildefonso T^.mohu^ said to mean 'white earth hills' 

 {funi, said to be for fy.'y, a kind of white earthy mineral, see 

 jMinerals, page 583; ^oku 'hill'). The name is not clear in its 

 meaning. It may have referred originally to the arroyo [19:89] 

 mstead of to these hills, or it may have referred originally to 

 both arroyo and hills. 



A wagon road connecting Ranchos [19:50] and Buckman passes 

 just east of these hills. A trail follows the wagon road, making 

 short cuts, being in some places identical with the wagon road. 

 No kind of whitish earth or rock was to be seen at the hills. The 

 hills clearly give name to [19:90]. 

 [19:89] San Ildefonso T'y.tiikohii'ii, said to mean 'white earth arroyo' 

 {T\mi, see [19:88]; I'qhiiu 'arroyo with t)arrancas' </('o 'bar- 

 ranca', Jiu'u 'large groove' 'arroyo'). The name T'y.ni may 

 have been applied originally to the arroyo instead of to the hills 

 [19:88], vice versa, or to both. No white earth was to be seen 

 at either hills or arroyo. 

 [19:90] San Ildefonso T'y,iii''oA-iibu''n 'corner by the white earth hills' 

 referring to [19:88] {T'lmi^ohu, see [19:88]; hu^u 'large low 

 roundish place'). 



This III' a is just south of the hills [19:85]. 

 [19:91] San Ildefonso P'op'aiDeokitbii'u, T*'op'awe'oktipse'i)(/ehu^ii. 'cor- 

 ner by the hills of the hole that goes through' 'corner beyond 

 the hills of the hole that goes through', referring to [19:76] 

 {P'op'awe'oku, see [19:76]; bu-n 'large low roundish place'; 

 p^yge ' beyond '). 



At this corner is the spring Ps^popi [19:92]. 

 [19:92] San Ildefonso Pfcpojii 'deer spring' {/m 'mule deer'; popi 

 'spring' <po 'water', pi 'to issue'). 



This spring, which is sometimes drj', is situated at the corner 

 [19:91]. 

 [19:93] San Ildefonso M'lyk'ondiwe 'where the earth is or was dug' 

 (nqrjf 'earth'; ^•'09,/' ' to dig'; '«mv 'locative'). Cf. [19:94] and 

 [19:95]; also MhjFqijwi'l under [19:unlocated]. 



A hole in the ground is still clearly seen at this place. It is 

 said that earth was removed long ago for the purpose of making 

 a thin layer of clay or plaster on the walls of rooms. 

 [19:94] San Ildefonso Nqyk'qywVol-u. 'hills of the gap where the. 

 earth is or was dug' {NqyJcqriwi^ , see [19:93]; \>ku 'hill').
