Newcomb, Jr. in his book, <U>The Indians of Texas</U> (UT Press) does not
address the etymology of "COAHUILA" and according to him, these group belonged
to "Hokan group of languages". (See, page 32). Mario Márquez suggests a
Nahuatl language etymology, but I have some misgivings about
this. </FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT color=#0000ff>Concerning "Tejas".. well, Newcomb uses the term
"Teyas" but whether "Tejas" comes from the Caddoan language is not entirely
clear even to Newcomb.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV>Not to get off this subject matter...... But does anyone know what
"COAHUILA " mean? The people of Texas ( TEJAS ) were called "COAHUILTECANS"
just wondering...The CADDOS say that *TEJAS* is a word from their language, I
say not... </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Later...</DIV>
