What renders this supposition still more probable, and also strengthens the theory of the dual origin of many parallelisms in Zuñi culture, observances, and phraseology, is not so much the fact that this name for red shells and the archaic Zuñi name for red paint, _áhona_, resemble in sound and meaning the Yuman _ahowata_, _ahauti_, etc., for red paint, nor yet the fact that such resemblance extends to many archaic and other terms, for example of relationship in the Zuñi as compared especially with corresponding terms in the Yavapai Tulkepaiya and other dialects of the Yuman. In fact, all the terms in Zuñi for the four quarters are twofold and different, according as used familiarly or ritualistically. That for west, for instance, is in the archaic and ritualistic form, _K’yálishiïnkwïn táhna_, and signifies "direction of the home, or source of mists and waters, or the sea;" which, when the Zuñi abode in the farther southwest near the Pacific, was the appropriate name for west. But the familiar name for west in modern Zuñi is _Súnhakwïn táhna_, the "direction of the place of evening," which is today equally appropriate for their plateau-encircled home of the far inland. "North," in the archaic form, is now nearly lost; yet in some of the more mystic rituals it occurs as both _Wímaiyawan táhna_ (_Wíkutaiya_ is "north" in the Yuma), "direction of the oak mountains," and _Yä´lawaunankwin táhna_, literally "direction of the place of the mountain ranges," which from the lower Colorado and southern Arizona are toward the north, but from northern Zuñi are not so conspicuous as in the other direction, as, for instance, toward the southwest. On the other hand, if we consider the familiar phrase for north, _Pïsh´lankwïn táhna_, "direction of the wind-swept plains," or of the "plains of the mightiest winds," to have been inherited from the aboriginal round-town Zuñis, then it was natural enough for them to have named the north as they did; for to the north of their earlier homes in the cliffs and beyond lay the measureless plains where roamed the strong Bison God of Winds, whence came his fierce northern breath and bellowings in the roar of storms in winter. The east, in common language, signifies "direction of the coming of day;" but in the ritual speech signifies "direction of the plains of daylight"--a literal description of the great Yuma desert as seen at day-break from the Colorado region, but scarcely applicable to the country eastward from Zuñi, which is rugged and broken until the Llanos Estacados of Texas are reached.
