In the Taensa Grammar and Vocabulary of Haumonté, Parisot and Adam (Paris, 1882), the name by which the people called itself is Hâstriryini "_warriors, men, tribe_;" cf. p. 91: hâstri _to fight_, _make war_; hâstrir _warrior, man_; hâstriryi _people, tribe_; but Tensagini also occurs in the texts, which would point to an extensive maize culture.
