NOTES. In all such syllables as ah, mah, nah, tah, &c.;, a has the same sound as in fat. In all such syllables as ay, may, nay, kay, &c.;, a has the same sound as in fate. The following Indian names were obtained by Lieutenant Simpson, through Mr. R. H. Kern, from Indians belonging to the pueblos named: The Indian name of the pueblo of Santa Anna... ..is Tom-i-ya. Do............do...........Santo Domingo is Ge-e-way. Do............do...........Cochiti......is Ko-cke. Do............do...........Silla........is Tse-ah. Do............do...........San Felipe...is Ka-lis cha. Do do Pecos is A-cu-lah. Do do Jemez is Ha-waw.wah-lah-too-waw. I am informed that the Indians of the Pueblo de Lentes have lost their original tongue, and now speak entirely the Spanish language. The only tribes which, in the above vocabulary, discover any obvious affinity in their languages, are the Navajos and the Ticorillas. It is, however, somewhat remarkable that the word for cat, (moose,) with some slight variations, should be found common to them all.
