Etymology

The village is labeled le Puits (French: the Well) on the Cassini map. The French le Puy usually correlates to the Provençal word Puech (an isolated hill). Here, as the Cassini map shows, it refers to the local wells.

gollark: Anyway, you could just write code for doing so for a 1D array, and then code for filling 10 N-1-dimensional arrays and merging them into a N-dimensional array
gollark: *Why* are you making a 5D array in the first place?
