_Ko´mpabi´ănta_--"Large tipi flaps," a name sometimes used by the Kiowa to designate themselves. _Kompa´go_--An abbreviated form of _Ko´mpabi´anta_. _Kwu´'dă´_--"Coming out" or "going out;" the most ancient name by which the Kiowa designated themselves. See _Te´pdă´_. _Na'la´ni_--"Many aliens," or "many enemies;" the collective Navaho name for the southern plains tribes, particularly the Comanche and Kiowa. _Nĭ´chihinĕ´na_--"Rivermen," the Arapaho name, from _nĭ´chia_ river and _hinĕ´na_ (singular _hinĕ´n_) men. The Kiowa are said to have been so called from their long residence on the upper Arkansas. _Ni-ci´-he-nen-a_--Hayden, Ethn. and Phil. Missouri Valley, 326, 1862. _Nitchihi_--Gatschet in American Antiquarian, IV, 281, 1881. _Shi´sh-i-nu´-wut-tsi´t-a-ni-o_--Hayden, Ethn. and Phil. Missouri Val., 290, 1862. Improperly given as the Cheyenne name for the Kiowa and rendered "rattlesnake people." The proper form is _Shĭ´shĭnu´wut-tsĭtäni´u_, "snake [not rattlesnake] people," and is the Cheyenne name for the Comanche, not the Kiowa, whom the Cheyenne call _Witapä´tu_. The mistake arose from the fact that the Comanche and Kiowa are confederated. _Te´pdă´_--"Coming out," "going out," "issuing" (as water from a spring, or ants from a hole); an ancient name used by the Kiowa to designate themselves, but later than _Kwu´`da_, q. v. The two names, which have the same meaning, may refer to their mythic origin or to their coming into the plains region. The name _Te´pdă´_ may have been substituted for Kwu´`da´, in accordance with a custom of the tribe, on account of the death of some person bearing a name suggestive of the earlier form. _Tepk`i´ñägo_--"People coming out," another form of _Te´pdă´_. _Wi´tapähä´tu_--The Dakota name, which the Dakota commonly render as people of the "island butte," from _wita_, island, and _pähä_, locative _pähäta_, a butte. They are unable to assign any satisfactory reason for such a name. See _Witapähät_. _T'häpet'häpa´yit'he_--Arbuthnut letter in Bur. Am. Eth. (given as the Cheyenne name for the Kiowa). _Vi´täpä´tu´i_--Name used for the Kiowa by the Sutaya division of the Cheyenne. _Watakpahata_--Mallery in Fourth Ann. Rep. Bur. Eth., 109, 1886. _Wate-pana-toes_--Brackenridge, Views of Louisiana, 85, 1814 (misprint). _Watepaneto_--Drake, Book of Indians, xii, 1848 (misprint). _Wetahato_--Lewis, Travels, 15, 1809 (misprint). _Wetapahato_--Lewis and Clark, Expedition, Allen ed., I, 34, map, 1814. _We-te-pâ-hâ´-to_--Lewis, Report, 1805, in Mess. from the President Communicating Discoveries by Lewis and Clark, etc, 36, 1806. (Incorrectly given as distinct from the Kiowa, but allied to them.) _Wetopahata_--Mallery, in Fourth Ann. Rep. Bur. Eth., 109, 1886. _Wettaphato_--Morse, Report on Indian Affairs, app., 366, 1882.
