Niunb6 /'(idahiv 'corner where the tish was desired' {pa 'fish'; da'a 



'to wish' 'to want' 'to desire'; bu'u, 'large low roundish place'). 



For the name cf. San Ildefonso Ke<lawtl [17:iinlocatedJ. The 



circumstances under which the name was originally applied were 



not known to the informant. 

 The place is said to be a large dell in the mountains near the 



upper course of the McUiy^powe [22:39]. 

 Span. Kio Panchuelo. See I^irseylcepo under [22:unlocated], above, 



and Topimps^ij(je'i:ij fhu u [25:15]. 

 Pecos Baldj. This is a high peak somewhere in the mountains east 



of Nambe. 



A three days' jaunt [from Valley Ranch] will take you to the headwaters 

 of the Pecos [22:62] — Pecos Baldy, 13,000 feet above the sea, and the Truchas 

 Peaks [22:13], towering still higher.' 



Namb^ "Po-nyi Num-bu."^ 



Higher up [than Santa Cruz [15:19] ] toward Chimayo [22:18], there are 

 said to be well defined ruins on the mountain sides, the names of two of which 

 are Po-nyi Num-bu and Yam P'ham-ba.^ 



For "Yam P'ham-ba " see [29:45]. The writers Nambe inform- 

 ants had never heard this name Po-nyi Num-bu and were sur- 

 prised to hear that there is a puel)lo ruin by this name. They 

 thought the name may be a mistake for I\m fityywifbu u [22:21], 

 but they knew of no ruin at the latter place. It is not clear from 

 Bandelier's text from which Tewa village he obtained tlie name. 

 Cf. Nambe S^nthiedaqywikt'ji\\nd&v\22:\n\\oc&ie(}L\, below. 

 Nambe PuWoHa 'swollen buttocks slope' {pu 'region about the anus 

 'l)uttocks'; tl 'swoUennoss' 'swollen'; 'cCa 'steep slope"). 



This place is somewhere near the upper course of Nambe Creek 

 [22:37]. Cf. Nambe Putiapo [22:unlocated], below. There are 

 springs at the place, it is said. 

 Nambe Putiapo 'swollen buttocks slope water", referring to PutTaa, 

 above; fo 'water" 'creek'. 



This is a creek which takes its name from Puti'aa (see above), 

 but under what name is not known to the writer. 

 PlJc'qndiwe 'place where the red paint is dug" {pi "redness' 'red'; 

 k'qijf 'to dig"; 'mv? locative). 



This is a deposit of bright red paint situated about 2 miles east 

 of Santa Fe, the informants think north of Santa Fe Creek [22:55] 

 in high land a few hundi'ed yards from that creek. This paint 

 was used for body painting. It is said that -licarilla Apache still 

 go to the deposit to get this paint and sometimes sell it to the 

 Tewa. See pi (under Minerals).
