[22:29j Wijo 'the great gap' {wi'i 'gap'; Jo augmentative). 



This gap is well known to all the Tewa. It is large and wide 

 and ean be clearly seen from mcst parts of the Tewa country. At 

 Santa Clara Pueblo the .sun appears to rise through this gap, a 

 fact which has been mentioned by Santa Clara Indians both to 

 another investigator and to the writer. Somewhere at or near 

 the gap is the ruin of the ancient pueblo W/'Jo'qijwi 'pueblo of 

 the great gap' ( Wijo, see above; 'orjwi 'pueblo'), which was built 

 by the united Summer and Winter people after they had wan- 

 dered separately for generations. See Wijo' oijiviltj i under [22: 

 unlocated].

 Cf. [2:10]. ^ ^ 



[22:ol] Nambe Kajotfa, Kojotfa apparently 'big rock there' (ka, ko 

 'stone' 'rock'; /o augmentative; tfa 'to be there' 'to be at a

[22:35] Nambe Psett'hu''u 'deer dwelling-place arroyo' {Pxte-., see 

 [22:36]; hiCu 'large groove' 'arroyo'). The name is probably 

 taken from [22:36], q.v. 



This arroj'o flows into Ilusogc [24:1]. 



[22:36] Nambe Psetekwaje 'deer dwelling-place heights' (pse 'mule- 

 deer'; te ' dwelling-place '; hvaje ' height'). This place probably

 Of this pueblo ruin Bandelier says: 



Mesas with abrupt sides border upon the valley [of Nambe] in the east, and

 establishment of Spanish rule in New Mexico. They also gave me some of the
