HARRINGTON] PLACE-NAMES 387 



The cultivated dell or locality where Tesuque Pueblo is situated 

 .is called thus. 

 [26:8] (1) Tat'uy(jeoywi 'pueblo down at the dry spotted place' {fa 

 'dryness' 'dry'; fy, ' spottedness ' 'spotted"; g.e 'down at' 'over 

 ' at'; ^oywi 'pueblo'). This is the old Tewa name of the pueblo. 

 Why the name was originally given is not known. All the forms 

 given below, with exception of Oruibi Hopi (9) and the saint- 

 names, ai'e probably corruptions, adaptations, or dialectic forms 

 of Tai'y.y[/e. Span. Tesuque is probably a corruption of Tut'iiijr/e 

 or of a Kcresan form. At the present time there are many Tewa 

 who know only the Span, corruption and the Tewa corruption of 

 the Span, corrupt form; see Tewa (2), below. "San Lorenzo 

 Tezuqui".' "San Lorenzo de Tezmiui".- "Thezuque".^ "Te- 

 zuque".* "Tesuque".^ "Tesuqui"." "Tusuque".' "Zesu- 

 qua".^ "Temque"." "San Diego de Tesuque".'" "Tosugui"." 

 "Tersuque".'- "Tesuke".'^ "Tejugne"." "Teseque''.^^ "Te- 

 suki"." 



(2) Tetsuge. (<Span. (12), below). This is the current Tewa 

 corruption of Span. Tesuque, Tezuque (pronounced tesulct' or 

 teeuTce), which in turn is a corruption of Tewa Tat'y.'gfje. At- 

 tempts to etymologize Tetsug.e in its corrupted form lead of 

 course to error. "Te-tzo-ge."'' "Tetsogi","* given as the Hano 

 Tewa form of the name. " Tet-su'-ge"," given as the Tewa name, 

 meaning ' cottonwood-tree place'. " Tet-su-ge'", '° given as the 

 San Juan pronunciation of the Tewa name. " Tetsogi", ^'' given 

 as the Hano Tewa form of the name. " Tai-tzo-gai." ^' 



(3) Taos "Tutsuiba","* given as meaning 'small pueblo.' = 

 Picuris (4).
