[25:6] Niimbc PxpofiCu, Psepofug.e 'deer water point' 'place down 

 by deer water point' (ps^ 'mule-deer'; po 'water'; /w'w 'hori- 

 zontally projecting point'; g^ 'down at' 'over at'). 



This is a projecting corner of a hill on the northeast side of the 

 canyon a short distance below Cundayo settlement [25:7]. There 

 are Mexican farms on the bottom lands about this place. The 

 Mexicans probably include this place under the name Cundayo. 



[25:7] (1) Nambe JTudijolcwse^y.^pi 'Mexican settlement at [25:S]' 

 {Ku(lyo, see [25:8]; J^ivxJcii 'Mexican', modified from hvprhj,7j,f 

 'iron' 'metal'; 'i'^ locative and adjective-forming postfix) . Cf. 

 Eng. (2), Span. (3). 



(2) Eng. Cundayo settlement. (<Span.). =Span. (3). 



(3) Span. Cundayo, a corruption of Tewa Kij,(iijo, see [25:8]. 

 =Eng._(2). 



This is a small Mexican settlement on the level land of the can- 

 yon bottom. It is mostly on the south side of the creek. The 

 name Cundayo was obtained from a Mexican living there. The 

 Santa Fe Sheet of the United States Geological Surve^y, jNIarch, 

 1894, locates a Mexican hamlet at tlie site of Cundayo, but calls 

 it "Escondillo." This is a mistake. A Mexican hamlet consist- 

 ing of two or three houses situated somewhere in the canyon 

 [25:.3] is called Escondido 'hidden'. Just where this Escondido 

 is situated seems not to be generally known even by Mexicans 

 living about Nambe. 



[25:8] Nambe Ku4!jo''qr)WikeJl of obscure etymology (ku^ijo unex- 

 plained, but evidently containing the augmentative jo as its last 

 sj'llable as in the name Tshnajo [22:18]; '' oynnjiej I 'pueblo ruin' 

 <'q)jv:i 'pueblo', Jceji 'old' postpound). This name refers to 

 the ruins of a large adobe pueblo on a level height west of and a 

 hundred feet or more above the present Mexican hamlet of Cun- 

 dayo [25:7]. 



This is claimed by the Nambe Indians as one of the ancient 

 villages of their people. No published reference to the ruin has 

 been found. The ruin gives the name to [25:7]. 



[25:9] Naui))e TUuihodi 'round hill of the little bells' {,fa!.i.i said by 

 the old cacique to be an ancient form or mutilated form of tinini 

 'little bell'; io-ii 'large roundish pile' ' round hill'). 

 TU'idi appears also in the names [25:10] and [25:11]. 



[25:10] Nambe Tiiidlluiu 'arroyo of the little bells" {TiiUi, see 

 [25:9]; hu'n 'large groove' 'arroyo'). Cf. [25:9] and [25:11]. 



This gulch begins at [25:11] and discharges into Santa Cruz 

 Creek [25:1], it is said. 



[25:11] Nambe TuUlwPi 'little bells gap' {ToiUl, see [25:9]; wi'i 

 'gap'). Cf. [25:9] and [25:10]. 

 This gap is between the hills [25:9] and [25:12].
