HARRINGTON] PLACE-NAMES 379 



[25:12] Nambe ' Ohukwaje 'height of 'dbwu [25:unlocated]' {'obu'u, 

 see under [25:unlocated]; kwaje 'height'). 



[25:13] Nambe Johulwaje, see [22:34]. 



[25:14] Nambe fopiyf 'pinon tree mountain' (to 'piiion tree' 'Pinus 

 edulis'; pirj./ 'mountain'). There is a considerable growth of 

 pinon on the mountain, hence it is easy to understand why the 

 name is given. 



This is a very high, large, isolated mountain, farther west than 

 the other high mountains. It gives the name to the large and 

 vaguely defined region east of the mountain, which is called 

 Topimpseyfje 'beyond piiTon mountain' {pseijr/e -beyond'); see 

 under introduction to sheet [25], page 377. Cf. [25:1.5]. 



Although several Mexicans and Indians were questioned, no 

 Span, name for this mountain could be learned. The Indian 

 informants said that there is none. Although the mountain is 

 clearlj' shown on the Santa Fe Sheet of the United States Gcologi- 

 • cal Survey, March, 1894, no name is given. Mr. Cosme Herrera 

 of Nambe states that the Mexicans do not pretend to have any 

 names for most of the mountains and creeks in the wild country 

 east of Nambe. 



[25:1.5] (1) Nambe Topini.pcer/geirjfhu^n^ Topimpxyqelm^u 'arroyo be- 

 yond pinon mountain', referring to [25:14] (Topimpxyqe^ as 

 explained in the introduction to sheet [25], above ; ''iyf locative 

 and adjective-forming postfix; hiCu 'large groove' 'arroyo'). 

 The creek is called thus because of its location with reference to 

 Topiyf mountain. 



(2) Span. Rio Panchuelo? Panchuelo is aug. of Pancho, familiar 

 form of Francisco, but how it came to be applied to a creek in this 

 region is not known to the writer. Again, it may be a corruption 

 of panzuelo, ' big bell}' '. Mr. Cosme Herrera of Nambe, who 

 knows the country well, says that [25 :15] is the Rio Panchuelo of 

 the Mexicans. The Santa Fe Sheet of the United States Geologi- 

 cal Survey, March, 1894, gives what is unmistakably tliis creek 

 as "Panchuelo Creek." The Indian informants, however, who 

 accompanied the author on the foot tour back of Topirif Moun- 

 tain, declared that [25:15] is not the Rio Panchuelo, which they say 

 lies somewhere northeast of [25:15]. The old cacique pointed out 

 a trail that leads from [25:15] to the Panchuelo. The Nambe 

 name of the Panchuelo, according to the old cacique,*is J^wseyh/po 

 'sharp rock-pine water'; see under [23:uulocated]. The state- 

 ments ai"e seriously perplexing. 



There are three pueblo ruins and many places with names 

 along the lower course of [25:15]. The creek forms a deep can-
