	Zuni Substance
		As a transitive verb, /a refers to "being depressions in rocks", but as Newman noted, /a belongs to a class of verbs "which are statics referring to the existence of an entity or quality" and "English translation fails to demonstrate convincingly that a verb of this type is transitive".
		As an intransitive verb the meaning of /a is a demonstrative "be prone", or "be laying", indicating location, and belongs to the same class of verbs denoting static entities where the direct object of the verb becomes indefinitized.
		One might interpret Bunzel's translation as being influenced by her considerable contact with Zuni folklore, and Cushing's translation due to his membership with the /A -pi/la shiwani and considerable knowledge of Zuni mythology.

	By: Ric Carter Re: Zuni Philosophy #1 Reproduced in ZUNI FETISHES and ZUNI by Frank Hamilt
		True, there are many beings in Zuni Mythology godlike in attributes, anthro- pomorphic, monstrous, and elemental, which are known as the "Finishers or Makers of the path of life," while the most superior of all is called the "Holder of the paths (of our lives)," Ha-a-no-o-na wi-la-po-na.
		Hence, while the name of the former class is applied preferably as a general term to all animals and animal gods, as previously explained, the name of the latter is used with equal preference as a term for all fetiches (We-ma-we), whether of the prey animals themselves or of other animals and beings.
		They are either such as have been found by the Zunis about pueblos formerly inhabited by their ancestors or are tribal possessions which have been handed down from generation to generation, until their makers, and even the fact that they were made by any member of the tribe, have been forgotten.

	Zuni
		The Zuni, like the Hopi, were linguistically distinct from the Pueblo tribes but related to them culturally.
		While each Pueblo tribe was associated with a single pueblo, the Hopi and Zuni were each associated with several, and not all members of these tribes lived in pueblos.

		That very little distinction is made between these orders of life, or that they are at least closely related, seems to be indicated by the absence from the entire language of any general term for God.
