/Sounds like "poon" (as in "pool") + "TAHL" (as in "tar")/
The key pillar, the person who holds everything together. Used in Mexico and Central America. Calling someone a puntal means they are indispensable: remove them and the whole structure, whether a team, a family, or a project, starts to fall apart. It is one of the highest things you can say about someone's role in a group.
“She is the puntal of the team; whenever she is out, everything falls into disarray.”
“My brother was the puntal of our family during the hardest years we went through.”
