in the mythology of the Antilles, was the mother of the great spirit Jokahuna, whom Tonatiks sent to the earth in his stead. This goddess was worshipped on the island Quisqueja (Hayti). She had an idol there, at whose side two servants stood, one to call the gods together, when the goddess wanted to send, them out to fulfil her wishes, the other to punish the disobedient.
