NICKNAMES 



Endara, football, a certain old man was so named from the lumps 

 on his feet. Ko'ashide, roast lamb, a certain lousy man is nick- 

 named. The reference is to something nice to eat. Chinadc, curly 

 head, is a common nickname. Also, Weru, blond. A certain very 

 dark-skinned man is called Punu, nigger. 



COMPAKATIVE REMARKS 



As among other Tanoans, the etymological meaning of personal 

 names is apparent; likewise a notable number of names have some 

 religious'^ import. 



In our lists I note that six names — whiteness, star, spruce, movm- 

 tain leaf, bright prayer feather — are borne by both male and female.
