Yeah, I've wondered that myself. I'd also like to know whether they have any mythology associated with it.
Not sure of the etymology of tsawke.

With 'tsawke', I just don't get it. I can get 'tsaw', meaning big, and 'ke', meaning 'no' or 'no', but it's the biggest thing in the sky, so THAT makes no sense. I can get 'tsa' to also mean 'that', but then that leaves the 'wke', which I don't understand. And the meaning of the word probably at least says SOMETHING about how they view the sun, so it's vexing I can't get it.
