“Abiquiu or Abiquiú?” by Jessica Rath, Abiquiú News
“Did you notice the acute accent over the second “u”? Some websites and printed articles use this spelling, while others do not. Maybe it’s because I was born and grew up in Germany, but for as long as I can remember, I was a stickler for correct spelling and pronunciation. Therefore, I found it puzzling that there were two ways to spell the name but only one (as far as I could hear) to pronounce: I had always heard it with the stress on the first A, or [‘æ-bɪ-kjuʷ]. The Spanish language uses accent marks to indicate which vowel or syllable should be stressed, and Abiquiú should be pronounced with the stress on the second U, or [a-βi-‘kju] (with thanks to Len Beké, doctoral candidate at UNM who specializes in New Mexico place names, for the correct phonetic spelling)…In Tewa this is a compound word meaning chokecherry path, Ávé-shú’ and the stress always falls on the second member of the compound, its head, in this case shú’.” READ WHOLE ARTICLE
