334 ETHNOGEOGBAPHY OF THE TEWA INDIANS [eth. ann. 29 



is hajamoyge. This proiumciatioii has been iil)tauiecl from a num- 

 ber of Mexicans, and from a Coehiti Indian who had heard only 

 the 8pan. form of the name, with considerable uniformity. Such 

 pi'onunciations as hajamotjl-e., kajumoijke and I'ujamoril'e are prob- 

 ably also to be heard. Mr. Antonio Roybal and some of his 

 friends who live at Callamong-ue were (juestioned as to the spell- 

 ing of the name liy residents of the place. ^Ir. Ko\'bal wrote 

 "Callamongue," which was approved by the others. This spell- 

 ing has been chosen therefore from among many current ones. 



[21 :'26] Nambe Fojege 'down where the waters or ci'eeks meet' (^Jo 

 'water' 'creek'; ^'e 'to meet'; g.e 'down at' 'over at'). This 

 name refers to the confluence. 



[21:i!7] >Janibe FoKiirjwsEg.eii.au, Posy,7)Wseg.enug.epotsa 'place below the 

 drink water place' ' marsh below the drink water place', referring 

 to [21:29] {PoKy,yw,Tg,e,see [21:29]; nu'u 'below'; g.e 'down at' 

 'over at'; potm 'marsh' <p(? 'water,' tsa 'to cut through' 'to 

 ooze through '). 



The author once tried to cross this marshy place at a time when 

 it looked like a dry meadow, but lie slumped in up to his knees, 

 much to the amusement of some Mexicans who live near. Of 

 course Posiujwxgenuu is a more inclusive name than the other, 

 but the two names seem to be used by the Indians indiscriminately. 

 There are a number of Mexican houses at the place. 



[21:28] Nambe Posy,i)wxgehwaje 'height of the drink water place', 

 referring to [21:29] {Posy,ijw.rg.e, see [21:29]; hvaje 'height"). 

 This name is given to the whole height or hill on which Pojoaque 

 stands. 



[21:29] (1) Posuywse.ge 'drink water place' ipo 'water'; sy,ywse 'to 

 drink'; g.e 'down at' 'over at'). Why the name was originally 

 applied appears to have been forgotten. All the forms in vari- 

 ous languages given below seem to lie either corrupted from or 

 cognate with this name. "San Francisco Pajagiie".' "Pojua-
