The Holy Lakes of Hurmu are six lakes revered by the people of Hurmu. They are Cashma (Kassma), Arquous (Arkwass), Dawnuk, Nwem, Anset, and Shelm (Sselm).

Cashma

Cashma, Kassma in Hurmumol, is the largest and westernmost of the lakes. Its name means "peace". It was given this name after the Peace between the six warring tribes of Hurmu was declared on the Lake's Island (located in the middle of the lake). The island itself was named Cashma Island.
