ojo sarco

Question

I suspect that ojo in this contex means spring, but the work sarco stumps me.

Answer 1

Miguel, if you say that someone has "ojos zarcos" it means "ojos azules", de color azul claro. But in this case the correct word is "zarco".

Answer 2

Could it be "ojo sacro"? that would mean "holy eye", which doens't make sense to me. Maybe you can write a larger part of the sentence down for some context?
Un saludo

Answer 3

I grew up in Ojo Sarco, NM. I was told that it refers to the spring at the top of the valley. I was told that it meant dead man's spring or something like that. I think a body was found floating in it at one point.

Answer 4

Ojos "sarcos" means eyes of different color. "Heterochromia" in technical language.
