PoJcwi 'lalie' 'pond' 'lagoon' 'sea' 'body of water' {po 'water' +

 ing the Taos paqtma- ' lake ' and Taos qvna- ' pit ' ' pitfall '. Lakes 

 are believed by the Tewa to be the dwelling places of 'ok'mva 

 and to communicate with the waters beneath the earth. At every 

 lake there is a k'oji or roof -hole, through which the ^ok'uwa pass 

 when they leave or enter the lake. It is said that each pueblo has 

 its lakes of the four cardinal points. Among the Tewa place- 

 names will be found the names of many sacred lakes.
