Personal Names. 



Among the Gosiute many personal names are given in reference 

 to some feature of the physical appearance. Thus, a boy with con- 

 spicuous ears that stand out from the head is named Kutn'o-rtip, 

 meaning, in effect, " Rabbit ears " or " he with rabbit ears." Another 

 young man who has a spinal curvature is called in full " I'ca-gzvaim- 

 no-dsup, " Person whose back appears broken " ; a girl with a con- 

 siderable growth of hair on her upper lip goes under the name 

 Mu'tsump, from mo'tsu, units, meaning moustache; a boy who is 

 tall is Nan'nan-tci, from ma-na'hna, to grow up, grow up high, and 

 a tall woman is similarly called Na'na-vi.
