Back in December via Quvar (12/07/2010):
[Maltz] thought more about it and said maybe another way to say "pillow" was {QongDaq buq} "bed pouch", but he said that could also apply to a sleeping bag. Perhaps a sleeping bag is {QongDaq buq'a'} and a pillow is {QongDaq buqHom}. The word {buq} could be "bag, sack, pouch" or even "pocket". When clarity is needed, one could say, for example, {yopwaH buq} "pants pouch" or {wep buq} "coat pouch" for "pants pocket" or "coat pocket," but when the context is clear, {buq} alone would suffice for pocket.
