Abstract This paper presents twenty-two Lipan Apache placenames as used by Augustina Zuazua in a narrative to Harry Hoijer concerning Lipan history.Lipan Apache is now considered by most linguists to be largely an extinct language.However these placenames provide a glimpse into the place-naming practices of heinz omogeneizzati the Lipan as well as reveal how placenames were discursively used.I analyze the placenames based on the semantic and morphological components of the names.

I fluffy tangerine clouds also look at how the placenames were used in context within the narrative.Finally, I suggest that Zuazua used this narrative and the placenames to comment on the removal of the Lipan Apache from their traditional homeland.The names, then, act as lingering signs of a past homeland.
