Be´dalpa´go--white people, particularly Americans; literally, "bearded people," from _be´dalpa´_ and _gó_. Other Kiowa names for the whites are: (1) _T'a`ta´-i_, an old word signifying "prominent or flapping ears," from _t´a_ and _ka´-i_, from the fact that the shorter hair of the white men makes their ears appear more prominent; the same name is also applied to a mule. (2) _Hâñpo´go_, "trappers," from _hâ´ñpo´_ and _go_, because some of the first whites known to them were American trappers. (3) _Ganoñ´ko_, "growlers," on account of their coarse voices, as regarded by the Indians. (4) _Gañto´nto_, "cap wearers," from _gañto´n_. (5) _Bo´yoñko_, "blonds;" singular, _Bo´yoñk`i´a_, from _boiñ_ and _ko_ or _k`ia_. Be´dalpaheñ´ko--see _Te´guă-go_. Belo--"Pedro," the Kiowa corruption of the name of a Carrizo (Mexican) captive, a Florida prisoner in 1875, and still (1897) living. _Be´shĭltchă_ (Apache)--the Kiowa Apache name for the Kiowa. _Bi´ăko_--Viejo (?); a Mexican captive and a Florida prisoner in 1875; still living. biăn, biănta--large. Cf. _edal_. bi´ăndäta--it boils, boiling. bi´ăsot--shower, showery; _bi´ăso´tdă´_, it is drizzling. bi´ĭmkâ´-i--a parfléche box, pouch, box; wooden box, _ä´-o`kâ´-i_. bodal--abnormal, or useless (?); cf. _ka´-bodal_ and _T'a-bodal_. A somewhat similar word, _p'o´dălta_, in composition, _p'o´dal_, q. v., signifies decayed or rotten. Bo´he´--not translatable and probably of foreign origin; a Kiowa man still living, said to have six fingers on each hand. His brother, _Masa´te_, "Six," had six toes on each foot. boho´n--cap, especially a war cap, ornamented with feathers, and sometimes with buffalo horns. _Bo´ho´nta_ or _k`an-bo´ho´nta_, (a white man's) hat, from _boho´n_ and _k`an_, squeezed or compressed, perhaps referring to the split in the middle or to the brim doubled up. Boho´n-ko´ñkya--"Black-cap;" a former Kiowa chief, one of the signers of the treaty of 1837, where his name appears as "Bon-congais, the Black Cap." Catlin painted his picture in 1834 (pl.

Bo´iñ-e´dal--"Big-blond;" a German captive, taken in 1835, still living among the Kiowa (see Summer 1835).

Bon toñ--"stinking water, or spring," from _gyäbo´nse_, it stinks, and _toñ_ or _toñtep_; a water hole on the Staked plain, probably so called on account of sulphur or alkali impregnation. Probably Sulphur springs, in Martin county, Texas, at the head of the Colorado. bot--stomach, belly.
