home on Cataract creek.

same tribe; sometimes also called _Ätäbĭts_ by the Comanche; under the

winter threw a buffalo robe over his naked shoulders.

divisions of the Kiowa tribe, and probably the original nucleus of the
tribe. In this word the root is _gâ´i_, while _gwŭ_ is the tribal
suffix, more usually formed as _go_ or _ko_, q. v. The word seems to be
derived from _gâ´idă_, implying having a half or part of different color
from the rest; perhaps in this case alluding to some old style of face
or body paint or to the former custom of wearing the hair cut short on
one side of the head, as already noted. A feather of the war eagle is
described as _gâ´idă´_, because one-half of it is white and the other

gu´a-da´gya--the "travel song," sung by a war party on setting out (see
Winter 1862-63). The literal meaning may be "wolf song," i. e.,
_gu´i-da´gya_. "Just before a war party sets out, its members get
together and sing the 'peeling a stick song,' which is a wolf song;
also, if a person is hungry and sings a wolf song he is likely to find
food. Men going on a hunting trip sing these songs, which bring them
good luck."--Grinnell, _Blackfeet_, _2_.
gu´ădal--red; it is practically a synonym for "paint," red being the
favorite and most sacred color with all Indian tribes. It is red, it is

Gu´ădal do´ha´--"red bluff;" a bluff on the north side of the South

camp, upper Rainy-mountain creek, on the reservation. (2) A mountain in

above the river of Colorado Springs, and on an extreme northern head

direction may be an error for Red mountain, _southward_ from the
Arkansas, and southwest of Pueblo.

usually kept in a bag or pouch tied inside the tipi and just above the
junction of the bed curtain to that one of the three principal poles
which stands nearly opposite the entrance. The Cheyenne sometimes hang
it outside, near the door. The word is compounded from _guntä_, tipi
pole, _da´-i_, medicine, and _pä_, the root of the verb _gyäpä´-imo_, I
tie. The suffix _-mä_ makes it a feminine name. The medicine, as also
the tipi pole to which it is attached, are also called _komtä´ga_ or
_komt[:ă]´-gu´n-da_. In this case the medicine may have been inclosed
in a bag made of white ermine skin. The three principal tipi poles tied
together are called _gunpä_ (_gun_ and _pä_); the Comanche tipi has four
principal poles.
Guñisa´dalte--"Horned" or "Having-horns," from _guñ_, _sadal_, and _te_,

portion of the tribe, formerly ranging principally about the Staked

a Comanche rendezvous in their raids into northeastern Mexico.
Gyai´`ko--Comanche; "enemies;" singular, _Gyaik`i_, _Gyai´mä_, from
_nyägyai´to_. This name "Enemies," is the common Kiowa name for the
Comanche, now their close allies (see page 162 _et passim_). Other Kiowa
names for them are (1) _Sänko_, now obsolete, probably signifying
"snakes," from _sä´ne_, snake; (2) _P'o´dalk`i´ägo_, or _P'o´dalgyä´ko_,
"reptile people," from _p'odal_ and _k`i´ägo_. This last name is
probably a substitute for the previous term _Sänko_, on the occasion of
the death of some person of somewhat similar name. The early French
explorers called them _Pa´douca_, from their common designation among
the Dakota, Osage, and cognate tribes. It may possibly be derived from
_Pe´nätĕ´ka_, the name of the easternmost division of the Comanche.
SIGN: "Wavy motion, as of a snake, made from front to back with the
right forefinger. Cf. Shoshoni sign under _So´ndo´ta_.
