This is the reason why all the Hano can talk Hop?,
and none of the Hop?tuh can talk Hano.
[Illustration: Plate XIII. Payupki, plan.]
The Asa and the Hano were close friends while they dwelt in New Mexico,
and when they came to this region both of them were called H?nomuh by
the other people of Tusayan. This term signifies the mode in which the
women of these people wear their hair, cut off in front on a line with
the mouth and carelessly parted or hanging over the face, the back hair
rolled up in a compact queue at the nape of the neck. This uncomely
fashion prevails with both matron, and maid, while among the other
Tusayan the matron parts her hair evenly down the head and wears it
hanging in a straight queue on either side, the maidens wearing theirs
in a curious discoid arrangement over each temple.
Although the Asa and the Hano women have the same peculiar fashion of
wearing the hair, still there is no affinity of blood claimed between
them. The Asa speak the same language as the other Tusayan, but the Tewa
(Hano) have a quite distinct language which belongs to the Ta?oan stock.
They claim that the occupants of the following pueblos, in the same
region of the Rio Grande, are of their people and speak the same tongue.
K?tite Cochit? (?). K?pung Santa Clara (?)
N?mi Namb?. Pokw?di Pojoaque.
Ohke San Juan. Tets?gi Tesuque.
Pos?we (Doubtless extinct.
