 red jDlace' 'hills down at the very red place' {pi 'redness' 'red'; 

 jo augmentative; g.e 'down at' 'over at'; ''oku 'hill'). 



This is a high, long, and much eroded reddish range of hills. 

 It is the highest and most conspicuous range between Nambe 

 Pueblo and the Black Mesa [18:19]. P^joge is separated from 

 N(impiheg.i [18:3] by the gap funfi^lcqywiH [18:6]. Pijoge is 

 nearly as conspicuous as the Black Mesa [18:19]. According to 

 a San lldefonso story, a Santa Clara inan once loved a Cochiti 

 woman. The woman had a Cochiti husband. A peiiita 'dry 

 corpse' {peni 'corpse'; ta 'dryness" 'dry') volunteered to kill 

 the husband. The story ends by saying that the j)t'n!ta went to 

 sleep in a cave somewhere in Pijoge, where he is still sleeping.
