HARRINGTON] PLACE-NAMES 431 



Cochiti [28:58], while nowadays the present Cochiti [28:77] is 

 thought of. The canyon is described by Bandclier,^ who gives 

 iniuh interesting historical information about it. See [28:53], 

 [28:5S], [38: (10], [28: (11]. See also Cliff in lower Cochiti Canyon 

 [28:unlocated], page 452. 



[28:63] Eng. Pines settlement. 



This is a hamlet in which several American and Mexican families 

 live. Cochiti Cain'on [28:52] is at times designated after the 

 name of this place. On the bridge [28:9'j] near Cochiti stands a 

 sign indicating that it is 15 miles from the bridge to Pines. 



[28:54] A gold mine owned by an aged Irishman, who lives at the 

 place. 



[28:55] (1) Tag.e^i''ififsi''i 'noon canyon' (tag&ii 'noon' <tag.e 'straight' 

 referring to the position of the sun straight overhead; .< a parti- 

 cipial; 'f/;y locative and adjective-forming postlix; tsPi 'canyon'). 

 Proliably a translation of Span. (4). 



("2) Cochiti SonatstfgTcdili'ja 'noon can3'on' {sonatsffa 'noon'; 

 IcdlKja 'canj^on'). Probably a translation of Span. (4). 



(3) Eng. Mediodia Canyon. (<Span.). = Span. (4). 



(4) Span. Caiion del Mediodia 'south canyon' 'noon canyon'; 

 probabl}' so named from its location south of the upper part of 

 [28:52]. 



This is a southern tributary of [28:52]. 

 [28:56] (1) Keresan (evidently Cochiti) "Ha-nat Kot-yi-ti."= ''Hii- 

 nat" probably means 'above', as can be determined by eliminating 

 the elements of known meaning in Bandelier's "Tit-yi Ilil-nat 

 Ka-ma Tze-shum-a . . . 'the old houses above in the north '."^ 

 "Kot-yi-ti" is for Kotfete; see [28:58] and Cochiti Kotfetefoma 

 [28:unlocated]. Cf. Span. (2). 



(2) Span. Potrero Viejo 'old land-tongue', probably referring 

 to the ruin [28:58] which Bandelier calls "Pueblo Viejo;" see 

 [28:58]. Cf. Cochiti (1). "Potrero Viejo."* "The Potrero"^ 

 proljably refers to the Potrero Viejo. 



Bandelier describes the Potrero Viejo as follows: 



In the west rise the pine-clad slopes and crests of the Sierra de la Bolsa [28: 

 unlocated], and in front of them a high and narrow projection or cliff, called' 

 Potrero Viejo; by the Queres [Keresan], Hii-nat Kot-yi-ti. The sides of this 

 mesa are of bare rock, a tufa merging into pumice-stone, and the ascent to tlie 

 top is steep and laborious. The summit is wooded, and perhaps 2 miles long. 

 From it expands a wide view, and the little houses of the hamlet [28:60] of 

 the Canada [28:52] appear tiny at a depth of nearly 500 feet below. ^ The 

 Potrero Viejo is a natural fortress, almost as difficult to storm as the well-known
