Referenced by Bentley as a "well, spring, or water hole." He notes that it may also refer to a machine that raises water from a well or cistern. Santamaría glosses it as a provincialism used in northern Mexico for a well or cistern. The DRAE defines it as a machine composed of two large wheels, a horizontal wheel that is moved by a lever pulled by a horse or mule, and a vertical wheel that is engaged in the first and moves a thick rope with buckets to draw water up from a well. The Royal Academy confirms that the term may refer to the well from which water is extracted by the machine described above.
