   I drew a complete blank on the original question (although I scratched
my head plentifully and did some searching).  Fran's contribution reminded
me of one of my favorite Molina entries: "atl iohhui" 'gutter or stream of
water '.  So I thought y'all might find these similar phrases of interest.=
