T^'a/Jiz/y 'yucca mountain' (//a ' Yucca baccata'; piyy 'mountain'). 

 This name is applied to a mountain somewhere near the Monte- 

 zuma Valley in southwestern Colorado. The mountain gives 

 Montezuma Valley its Tewa name; see I*'ap/nnse''akqijj', above. 



(1) Source unknown, "Quivira"', etc. This is recorded in a number 

 of orthographies. It is first mentioned in lo-il as the name of 

 an Indian province lying east of the pueblo area, of which Coro- 

 nado learned from a Plains Indian, identified as a Pawnee, known 

 as "The Turk", while on the Rio Grande among the' Pueblos in 

 1540-41. From 1541 until ca. 1699 it was applied by various 

 writers to a region in the present Kansas, identified bj- Hodge as 

 the tribal range of the Wichita Indians. 



From ca. 1699 " Quivira " is frequently applied also to a pueblo 

 ruin attributed to the Piro, with the remains of a large Spanish 

 church about 33 miles almost due south of Estancia [29:107]. 

 Bandelier^ identifies this pueblo ruin with the "Tabira", etc., of 

 some early sources. (See Piro {'.), (2), below.) Hodge- suggests 

 that Quivira is "possibly a Spanish corruption of Kidikwius, or 

 Kirikurus, the Wichita name for themselves, or of Kirikuruks, 

 the Pawnee name for the Wichita.'' The Tewa are familiar with 

 the name "Quivira" only as they have heard the Mexicans use it 

 as a name of a pueblo ruin somewhere in central New Mexico. 



The writer has made special effort to get information from 

 Tewa about "Tabira", but have found none who know the name. 

 In the following synonymy the names that refer to the pueblo 

 ruin of central New Mexico are marked with an asterisk. The 

 "Gran" of some forms is the Span, word meaning 'great'. 

 "Quivira'*.^ "Quibira".^ "Aguivira".^ "Quiuira"." "Que-

 ently Axa and Quivira"." "Cuybira''.'- "Cuivira"." "Qvi-
