HARRINGTON] INDIAN NAMES AROUND SANTA FE, N. M. 353

POJOAQUE [21 129]

Span. Pojoaque is for Tewa P'osu n rywae n ge, drink water place (p'o, water; su n r/w3e n , to drink; ge, loc.). This once populous Tewa pueblo is now practically extinct.

PUEBLITO [13:15]

Pueblito is a small Indian suburb of San -Juan on the west side of the Rio Grande. It is known to the Tewa as K'un y ce n 'o n ?7wi n , turquoise pueblo (k'un y 2e n , turquoise; 'o n r7wi n , pueblo), a name which happens to be applied also to San Marcos pueblo ruin, south of Santa Fe (see below).

SAN FELIPE [29:69]

The Tewa name of San Felipe is Na n r?kwae n rige, sticky earth place (na n ?7, earth; kwseri, sticky; ge, loc.); the Jemez Kwilegi'i, apparently 'gap place' (kwile, gap; gi'i, loc.). The Keres has an unanalysable name: Katst 7 a.

SAN GABRIEL [13:27]

This old pueblo ruin, on the west side of the Rio Grande oppo- site San Juan, has the Tewa name Yu n T7ge, apparently meaning
