HARRINGTON] PLACE-NAMES 375 



This name refers to a large region. Just where the cattails 

 which gave rise to the name grow or grew was not known to the 

 informants. The place mentioned gives names to [24:33], [24:34], 

 and [24:35]. 



[24:33] Nambe ^Awap'iwehu'u 'arroyo by the place of a kind of cat- 

 tail called \iwap'i\ referring to [24:32] {^Awap'iwe, see [24:32]; 

 Aw'u 'large groove' 'arroyo'). 



This little dry gulch proceeds from ''Awap'iwe [24:32] north of 

 the little mesa [24:3-±] and disappears in the high plain of Wdbe 

 [24:31]. 



[24:34] Nambe ''Awajjiwekewe 'mesa or height of the place of a kind 

 of cattail called ''awap'i\ referring to [24:32] (^Awap'iwe, see 

 [24:32]; hewe 'height' 'mesa' 'peak'). 



This little mesa rises abruptly from the plain with cliff walls to 

 a height of 30 feet or more. It can be scaled without the help of 

 tackle only in two or three places. Its top is flat and 30 or 40 feet 

 in diameter. There is a little water hole in the top at its south- 

 west extremity which contained good water in October, although 

 it was said that no rain had fallen for several days. There is a 

 cave in the cliff at the southern end of the mesa; see [24:35]. 

 The little mesa is very conspicuous from Nambo Pueblo and from 

 all the plain about. 



[24:35] Nambe ''AwapHwekewe'impo 'the hole in the mesa or height 

 of the place of a kind of cattail called ''awap i\ referring to [24: 

 34] {'Awap'fwekeive, see [24:34]; 'i?;/ locative and adjective-form-

There appears to be no name for this gulch in the Nambe 

 language. It is distinguished by running in front of, i. e., just 

 south of the mesa [24:34]. Why the name 'cold water' should 

 be applied to this dry gulch is not clear. 



[24:37] Nambe Tsepohu''u 'eagle's head arroyo' (tse 'eagle of any 

 species'; po 'head'; hiCu 'large groove' 'arroyo'). Several 

 place-names on the sheet contain the word tse 'eagle'. Cf. espe- 

 cially TsefioJ-e imAav [23:unlocated]. 



This gulch runs from Tsepohwaje [24:38], to which it appears 

 to give the name, until it is lost in the arid plain.

 hwaje 'height'). 



The Jsepo/iw'w [24:37] begins at this place.
