The settlement of Ruekman consists at present of several small 

 houses and shacks mostlj' south of the railroad, and a large lum- 

 ber yard. The lumber sawed in tlie territory west of the Rio 

 Grande is hauled to Buckman in wagons aTul thence shipped b\' 

 train. Buckman is only a stone's throw from the two arroj'os 

 [20:11] and [20:25]. The vicinity of Buckman itself and of 

 places designated by Buckman used in compounds is usuall}- 

 reiulered in Tewa by fumapspyge, literall.y ' beyond Buckman 

 Mesa' [20:5]; see introduction to sheet [20 1, jiage 322.

[20:25] San Ildefonso KQSog.e, KosogeiyfJiu^u 'down at the large bar- 

 I'anca or arroyo ' ' arroyo down l)v the large barrani-a or arroyo ' {lo 

 'barranca' 'arroyo with barrancas'; sa'o 'largeness' 'large'; ge 

 'down at' 'over at'; ' iyy locative and adjective-forming posttix; 

 hull ' large groove ' 'arro\'o'). Some individuals appear to use 

 KQi«)Q,e -diwiX KqstiQ.e'iijj'hu^u indiscriminately; others insist that a 

 certain locality in the arroyo is called Kqsogt and that the whole 

 arroyo must be called Kosoge iy fhu u . There are very large and 

 high barrancas at several places in the arroyo and although the 

 writer was accompanied by an Indian at Buckman who had ad- 

 vocated the two-name, two-place theory, he did not knt)w (o 

 which liarranca Kosoge should be applied. 



This arroyo is very large and in the neighborhood of the mesa 

 [20:33] wildly picturesque. It is known by the Americans as 

 " Buckman Ai-rt)yo", but since |20: 11] also can be so designated, 

 this cannot be given as an established name.
