, t GALLINAS [i -.24]

Tewa Dip'o, chicken creek (di, chicken; p'o, water) is perhaps a mere translation of the Span. name. Di in primitive Tewa meant turkey, but became so familiar a word when applied to the introduced gallinas of the Mexicans that turkey is now designated by the compound p'i n ndi, mountain turkey (p'i n r/, mountain), or if you will, mountain chicken. Therefore an original Tewa place name dip'o would have become in Spanish Los Guajalotes, not Las Gallinas.

GAVILAN [7:3]

In the case of the name Gavilan, a Mexican settlement on Ojo Caliente creek, however, we have perhaps a clew to show that the Tewa name was. The original Span, gavilan means any kind of hawk; the Tewa name of the place, tsugae n 'iwe, means place of a certain species of hawk, Falco nisus (tsugae 11, Falco nisus;-'iwe, loc.), the Tewa having no general term for hawk. The Spanish name therefore in this case apparently presupposes the more definite or peculiar Tewa name.

GUACHE [14:11]

Guache, a Mexican hamlet north of Espanola, is called in Tewa ma n hu n bu'u, owl dell (ma n hu n, great horned owl; bu'u, dell). Guache sounds indeed like a loan-word from the Tewa (cf.Guache- panque), but no Tewa counterpart is discoverable.

GUACHEPANQUE [14:20]

Guachepanque, a Mexican settlement between Espanola and Santa Clara, is in Tewa P'otsip'a n ' an ge, mud string place (p'otsi, mud; p'a n>an, string; ge, place). Could the original idea have been a string of mudpuddles?

GUAJE CANYON [16:53]

This Spanish name, which means gourd canyon, is not reflected in Tewa. To the Tewa the canyon is simply ts'iso'o, the big canyon (ts'i'i, canyon; so'o, big).

HOPI VILLAGES [Unmapped]

Tusayan is called by the Tewa: Khoso n 'o i y rl7 7wi n, Hopi villages (Khoso n ' on r/, Hopi Indian, lit., big leggings: kho, leggings; so n 'o n ?7, big veg.\ 'o n T7wi n, pueblo).
