HARRINGTON] PLACE-NAMES 411 



[28 :8] South fork of Frijoles Canyon [28 :6]. 



[28:9] Pnfenibii'n 'water tube corner' (po 'water'; t^7)j' 'tube'; bu^u 

 ' large low roundish place '). This name is given to the dell where 

 [28:7] and [28:8] join [28:6]. It is said that the dell and the sur- 

 rounding' canyons are tube-like; hence the name. 



[28:1(1] San Ildefonso K' awig.einfsi'' i 'corral gap can3-on' {K^awi'i 

 see [28:unlocated]; ge 'down at' 'over at'; 'hjf locative and 

 adjective-forming postfix; TsPi 'canyon'). 



[28:11] Pajarito Mesa, see [17:36]. 



[28:12] (1) Puqwig.e'oywilcejl 'pueblo ruin where the bottoms of the 

 pottery vessels were wiped or smoothed thin' (pii 'base' 'bottom 

 of a vessel' 'buttocks' of an animal, 'root' of a plant, here being 

 equivalent to bcpu ' bottom of vessel ' <be, ' pottery vessel ', pu 

 'base'; qivi 'to wipe smooth' 'to wipe' 'to scrape', commonly 

 employed in its fuller form qwigi of same meaning ; g,e ' down 

 where' 'over where'; 'qywikeji 'pueblo ruin' <^Qywi 'pueblo, 

 lieji. 'old' postpound). See plates 16, 17. It is said that the 

 ancient inhabitants used to make the bottoms of their potterv 

 vessels very thin ; hence the name. Several times the writer has 

 heard the name so pronounced that it approximated in sound 

 Puhug.e, which could beanaij'zedas j";*;; 'base'; hua 'large groove' 

 'arroyo'; ge 'down at' 'over at'. The form Puhuge is however 

 merely a corruption of Puqvnge, probably due to vowel harmony. 

 A certain etymology of obscene meaning is given only by Indians 

 who do not know the' correct explanation. So far as is known, 

 the Tewa name has not before been published. 



(2) Cochiti Tf&onfe, T/ffonfeMJafteta, Tfo'onfekd'matse- 

 foma of obscure etymology {Tf&onfe unexplained, it pi'obably 

 has nothing to do with Tfonfe 'immediately' 'right now'; 

 /la'ff/A.f a 'pueblo'; Irr/'wafee/o/na 'pueblo ruin' KlcfPtnatse 'set- 

 tlement', foma 'old'). " Yu-iiu-ye":^ the tf was probably heard 

 as 1/, or the F may be a misprint for T. "Tyuonyi".- 



Tyuo-nyi . . . a word having a signification akin to that of treaty or contract. 

 It waa so called because of a treaty made there at some remote period, by 

 which certain of the Pueblo tribes, probably the Queres [Keresan], Tehuas 

 [Tewa] and perhaps the Jemez, agreed that certain ranges loosely defined 

 should belong in the future to each of them exclusively.' 



The writer's Cochiti informants knew of no such etymology or 

 tradition. "Tyuonyi".* "Tyuonyi (place du pacte)".^ "Ty';^- 

 onyi hdarctitif' (fy'xCmiyi, unexplained 4- hdarctitc°', houses)". °
