21 guayave
New Mexico and Texas: 1850. Blevins references this term as a cornbread made by Pueblo Indians. Carlisle glosses it as cake, or hot cake in New Mexico. Hendrickson says that the term was also used in the Southwest to refer to rolls of money because of their similarity in shape to the Pueblo Indian bread. The only Spanish source to reference this term is Cobos, who indicates that it is a sort of "waferlike bread made with blue cornmeal." He also notes that the bread is called piki by the Hopi Indians and hewe by the Zuni. -
22 hoosegow
( juzgado [xusyáðo], also popularly [xusgáo] or [xusgáu], perfective participle of juzgar < Latin jüdicare 'to judge')1) DARE: 1909. According to the DARE, "a jail, prison or courthouse." Hendrickson's claim that the slang word jug, meaning jail, may come from juzgado is unsubstantiated and cannot be explained, given Spanish phonology.Alternate forms: hoose, hoosecow, hoosegarden, hoosegaw, hoosgow, hoozegow, housgau, jusgado.2) Western Montana, western Wyoming: 1931. An outhouse or restroom. The DRAE glosses juzgado as a group of judges who concur in a sentencing, a territory under the jurisdiction of such judges, or a place where judgment is entered. Hollywood and pulp fiction writers have greatly exaggerated the lawlessness of cowboys and ranchers in the Old West—however, the term in question was well known among them; no doubt, at least a few buckaroos had a first-hand experience with the hoosegow, regardless of their guilt or innocence. -
23 hua!
(gua [gwá] < ¡ guarda! 'watch out!' imperative of guardar < Germanic wardón < waron 'to attend to; to pay attention')Carlisle: 1850. Blevins suggests that this command, used to urge a team of animals along, comes from the Spanish ¡ Gua!, meaning the same. Corominas is the only Spanish source to reference this term, and he glosses it briefly as an expression of admiration or fear. Perhaps this cry would have identified the trail driver as Spanish or Mexican to the cowboy who came across him on a long cattle drive. See also wagh! -
24 maguey
(Sp. model spelled same [mayéi], of Taino origin)1) DARE: 1830. Another name for the agave plant. Both Blevins and Hendrick-son reference agave, Hendrickson noting that the term derives from the name of "the daughter of the legendary Cadmus who introduced the Greek alphabet." While many species make up the Agave genus, the most remarkable one is the so-called century plant (A. americana). According to legend, the plant earned its name because it only blooms once every one hundred years. However, it actually blooms any time after fifteen years, usually in twenty to thirty years. Both Blevins and Hendrickson state that the plant dies after blooming, but no Spanish source reaffirms this. According to the DRAE and Blevins, it is originally from Mexico (although introduced into Europe in the sixteenth century and naturalized on the Mediterranean coast). The agave, maguey, or century plant is a light green succulent with fleshy leaves and yellowish blooms. The leaves are similar in arrangement to a triangular pyramid or a rosette; the edges as well as the tips of the leaves are covered with sharp spines, and the plant may grow up to some twenty to twenty-three feet in height. This particular plant and related species are used as hedges or fences in dry, hot areas and they produce fiber (thread), alcoholic beverages (mescal, tequila and pulque), soaps, and foodstuffs. In Mexico, the term maguey is used much more frequently to refer to these same plants. The DARE notes that this name is limited to the Southwest and the Gulf states.Also known as amole, century plant, lechuguilla, mescal.2) New Mexico: 1899. A rope, such as a lasso, made from the fibers of a maguey plant. Santamaría and the DRAE concur with the first definition, but no Spanish source glosses the term as a kind of rope.Alternate forms: maguay, McGay (the latter is a folk etymology). -
25 manko
Crippled, as an animal with an injured forefoot. The DRAE indicates that it describes a person who has lost an arm or a hand or an animal that has lost a forefoot. It also refers to an animal or person that has lost the use of one of these members. Santamaría glosses it as a four-legged animal that limps because of an impaired forefoot, even if the injury is temporary and the animal has not lost complete use of the member. In the movies, a manco horse was frequently put out of its misery by a shot heard but not seen. In real life, depending on the seriousness of the injury, the horse might be nursed back to health, particularly if the outfit was short on working mounts. -
26 mochila
(Sp. model spelled same [mot∫íla] < mochil 'messenger boy' [because a messenger often carries a mochila or knapsack] < Basque mutil or motil 'boy' or 'servant' < Latin mutilis 'mutilated,' 'blunt,' or 'cropped.' The term apparently referred to small boys who wore their hair short.) Oregon: 1856. A cloth or leather cover for a saddle, often with pockets, called cantinas. Referenced in the DRAE as a sort of cover hanging from the saddletree on a type of saddle with short stirrups. Santamaría glosses it as a saddlebag or knapsack in the shape of a small chest or bag.Alternate forms: macheer, machere, machilla, mecheer, mochile, mochiler. -
27 pelado
(Sp. model spelled same [peláðo] 'bald; poor,' perfective participle of pelar 'to pull out hair' < Latin pilare)Clark: 1840s. Among Anglos, a dishonest, unemployed, or contemptible Mexican. Referenced in the DRAE as a poor person or (in Mexico) a person belonging to the poorest and most uncultured classes, a boor. Santamaría also glosses it primarily as a poor person, but also a popular figure from the lower classes. He is a ragged, wretched, and uncultured person, but generally good-natured. It may also refer figuratively to an ill-mannered person who uses obscene language. Cobos indicates that in New Mexico and southern Colorado it means "broke or penniless."Alternate forms: palau, pelayo. -
28 pendejo
(Sp. model spelled same [pendéxo] < Vulgar Latin pectiniculum 'pubic hair,' diminutive of pectenem 'pubes')Hendrickson cites another source that glosses this term as "asshole." The DRAE defines it as a weak, cowardly man or a stupid, foolish man. It also refers figuratively to a person who lives a licentious lifestyle, a slattern. Santamaría concurs with the first two of these definitions and notes that in Mexico this term is derogatory and obscene, considered improper among well-mannered people. -

30 reata
(Sp. model spelled same [reáta] < reatar 'to retie' < atar 'to tie' < Latin aptare 'to adapt; to subject')Bentley: 1838. A rope, made of braided rawhide or leather, according to Blevins (who cites Mora). Watts notes it occasionally referred to a grass rope. Some sources list it as a synonym for lariat, but Clark indicates that the reata is much shorter than the lariat and is used for many purposes, but not for catching cattle. However, neither Watts nor Blevins agrees with Clark. They observe that reatas are made from four to eight strands of leather or rawhide (four being the most suitable for everyday work) and generally measure forty to sixty feet in length, with a diameter three-eighths inch being the most common. These are and were used for roping cattle and other chores. Referenced in the DRAE as a cord, strap, or rope used for tying, or a rope used especially for tying horses or mules in single file. Santamaría glosses it as a rope in general, but especially a rope of twisted fiber, used by charros in their profession.Alternate forms: riata, rieta, rietta.Also called a string. -
31 sobrecincha
(Sp. model spelled same [soßresín,t∫a] < sobre < Latin super 'on or above' and cincha 'cinch' < Latin cingulam)Blevins quotes Smith, who indicates that this term is synonymous with cinch ( also known as surcingle or girth) in the Southwest, and refers to the strap that passes under the belly of an animal to hold a pack or a saddle in place. The DRAE glosses it as the strap that runs under a horse's belly and over the saddle to hold the blanket, horsecloth, or caparison in place. -
32 vaquero
(Sp. model spelled same [bakéro] < vaca [see above] and agentive suffix -ero, 'profession or trade')Hendrickson: 1800s. Usually a Mexican or California cowboy, but it may also refer to a cowboy in general. It is most likely the model for cowboy and buckaroo. The DRAE glosses it as a herder of cattle. Santamaría indicates that the term refers to a person who works in the various operations of a ranch, including the handling of cattle.Alternate forms: baquero, buckaroo ( See various forms of buckaroo), vacher. -

34 ἀρνειός
Grammatical information: m.Meaning: `ram' (Il.). Cf. ἀρνειός· ὁ τριετης κριός H. Also Pausanias 159 Erbse who cites Istros ἄρνα, εἶτα ἀμνόν, εἶτα ἀρνειόν, εἶτα λιπογνώμονα.Other forms: for ἀρνηός s. belowDialectal forms: Att. ἀρνεώς m.Origin: XX [etym. unknown]Etymology: Att. ἀρνεώς shows that the form must have been *ἀρνηός, which is confirmed by ἀρνηάδες (Wackernagel Akzent 32); the form with ε in Homer had to be read long. The old connection with (Ϝ)ἀρήν was rejected by Meillet IF 5, 328f., because of the meaning and because the word had no digamma. He explained it as *ἀρσν-ηϜός, to ἄρσην, as the male animal, cf. ὄιν ἀρνειόν as opposed to θῆλυν κ 572. Rather from a verb *ἀρνευω, which is confirmed by ἀρνευτήρ (s.v.); s. Bechtel Lex. As the glosses indicate, it was a designation for a certain age (Benveniste BSL 45, 103).Page in Frisk: 1,145Greek-English etymological dictionary (Ελληνικά-Αγγλικά ετυμολογική λεξικό) > ἀρνειός

35 -θελυμνος
- θελυμνοςGrammatical information: adj.Meaning: in προ-θέλυμνος, τετρα-θέλυμνος; προ-θέλυμνος adjunct of δένδρεα (Ι 541), of χαῖται (Κ 15), of σάκος (Ν 130); posthom. of diff. objects ( δρῦς, καρήατα); - τετρα-θέλυμνος adjunct of σάκος (Ο 479 = χ 122); cf. τριθέλυμνος = τρίπτυχος Eust. 849, 5.Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]Etymology: A the simplex is unknown, Sturz read it in Emp. 21,6 for tradit. θελημ(ν)ά (Diels a. o. θελεμνά). With προ-θέλυμνος cf. πρό-ρριζος `of which the root is gone, uprooted', Lat. prŏ-fundus `of which the bottom is gone (removed), deep', Skt. pra-parṇa- `whose leaves have fallen off, stripped of the leaves'. As the sec. member of προ-θέλυμνος, which can be reconstructed as well as *θέλυμα as as *θελυμνον (- ος), is interpreted as `basis', προ-θέλυμνος would mean `whose basis (bottom) is gone, removed (from its fundament)', what might fit for all occurrences except Ν 130 (after it Nonn. D. 22, 183; 2, 374). Improbable Wackernagel Unt.. 237ff. (criticism of older views) who wans to see in it a variant of τετρα-θέλυμνος `with four layers', with προ- as the Aeolic parallel of τρα- from *πτϜρα- (cf. τρά-πεζα) (impossible as the word is non-IE). - The glosses of H ἀθέλιμνοι κακοί; ἀθέλημον ἄκουσμα κακόν are unclear; id. for θέλεμνον ὅλον ἐκ ῥιζῶν (Latte in Mayrhofer KEWA. 2, 94A.). As the place in Empedokles is unclear, we can only use the compp. Connection with Sanskrit dharúṇam n. in Mayrhofer is also impossible (as the word is Pre-Greek). - Krahe Die Antike 15, 181 thinks the word is Pre-Greek, which is without a doubt correct (suff. (- υμνος).Page in Frisk: 1,659-660Greek-English etymological dictionary (Ελληνικά-Αγγλικά ετυμολογική λεξικό) > -θελυμνος

36 κύπτω
Grammatical information: v.Meaning: `bend forward, stoop, (run) with the head down' (IA).Derivatives: ἐπί-, κατά-, παρά-, πρό-κυψις `stoopng' (medic., hell.); συγκύπ-ται pl. `rafters, sloping beams' (Ath. Mech.), παρακυπτ-ικός `looking inside, inspect inquisitively' ( Cod. Iust.). Adv. κύβ-δα `bent forward' (Archil., com.). Enlarged present κυπτάζω `keep stooping, go poking about' (com.). - Besides κῡφός `bent forwards, hunchbacked' (β 16) with several derivv.: κύφων, - ωνος m. `bent yoke of the plough, pillory, who has had is neck in a pillory, curved beam etc.' (Thgn., Archil., com. etc.) with κυφώνιον kind of salve (Alex. Trall.), - ισμός `punishment by the κ,' (sch.); κυφότης `being bent' (Hld.), κῦφος n. `hump, hunch' (Hdn.; Schwyzer 512). Denomin. κυφόομαι `be bent, humpbacked' with κύφωσις `being humpbacked', - ωμα `hump' (medic.); as backformation (to κυφός or κέκυφα?) κύφω in κύφοντα ὀφθαλμοῖς `with downcast eyes' (LXX). - With factitive meaning κυπόω `overthrow', only ( ἀνα-) κυπώσας (Lyc., Nic.); after τύπτω (: τύπος): τυπόω?Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]Etymology: As κῡφός is in Greek isolated in its formation, it may be original as against the regular κύπτω (with old perfect κέκῡφα?). κυφός has been compared with Skt. kubhrá- m. `humpbacked bull', kubjá- `humpbacked, curved', for which recently mundide origin has been claimed; a reduplicated formation is found in Skt. kakúbh- f. `top, summit, hump'. Directe comparison of κῦφος n. with Av. kaōfa- m. `mountain, camel-hump' (Brandenstein Μνήμης χάριν 1, 53) is deceptive, as κῦφος was built in Greek to κυφός. Of words with final -p- may be mentioned Lith. kuprà, OHG hovar `hump'. Uncertain is the relation to diverse glosses as κύφερον η κυφήν κεφαλήν. Κρῆτες H. (cf. Bechtel Dial. 2, 789) [prob.not here; see 2. κύμβη], also words for `pot, jar' as Skt. kumbhá-, Av. xumba- m. (cf. Sturtevant Lang. 17, 10). Cf. further on κύπελλον, 1. κύμβη, κύβος, κυψέλη. The variation κυφ- κυπ- rather points to a Pre-Greek word; there is no good IE comparandum.Page in Frisk: 2,52-53Greek-English etymological dictionary (Ελληνικά-Αγγλικά ετυμολογική λεξικό) > κύπτω

Namenforsch. 2, 233.Origin: IE [Indo-European] [1120?] *u̯eiH- `turn, bend'Etymology: With (Ϝ)οῖνος agree, except for the gender and auslaut, Lat. vīnum (if from *u̯oinom; Umbr. etc. vinu then Lat. LW [loanword]), Arm. gini (\< *u̯oinii̯o-), Alb. vênë (\< *u̯oinā); an IE word for `wine', reconstructed from this, may together with the related Lat. vītis `vine' and many others (s. on ἴτυς) belong to the group u̯ei- `turn, bend'. As the wild vine a.o. was at home in southern Russia and certain parts of middle Europe, this assumption is acceptable also from the aspect of historical facts. As however the cultivation of the vine has started in the Mediterranean lands or in the Pontus area and in the south of the Caucasus, most scholars incline, to look for the origin of the word in these countries, what would point to non-IE origin. But if we put the homeland of viticulture in the Pontus and the northern Balkan, the word for `wine' might come from there. From this IE source would then come not only the words mentioned from Greek, Lat., Arm. and Albania, but also Hitt. u̯ii̯an(a)-, Hier. Hitt. wa(i)ana-, and also the relevant Semit. words, e.g. Arab. wain, Hebr. jajin (common * wainu-?). Thus Beekes, MSS 48(1987)21-6, who points out that the Hitt. form requires *u̯ih₁on-.

38 ὀρφανός
Grammatical information: m.Meaning: `orphaned, orphan', metaph. `bereft, abandoned' (υ 68).Compounds: As 1. member a.o. in ὀρφανο-δικασταί m.pl. "orphan-judge" ( Leg. Gort.; Fraenkel Nom. ag. 1, 185).Derivatives: 1. Adj. ὀρφαν-ικός `belonging to ὀρφανοι' (Il., Pl., Arist.; Fraenkel 1, 211 f., Chantraine Études 101 f.), - ιος `abandoned, lonely' (AP). 2. Subst. ὀρφαν-ία f. `orphanhood, bereavement' (Pi., ætt.), - ότης f. `id.' (Cappadocia). 3. Verbs. a) ὀρφαν-ίζω ( ἀπ- ὀρφανός) `to make an orphan, to bereave' (Pi.); from it formally - ιστής m., but as `guardian' (S.

(pap.); c) - όομαι `to be bereft' (AP, sch.).Etymology: From the H.glosses ὀρφοβόται ἐπίτροποι ὀρφανῶν with ὀρφο-βοτία ἐπιτροπή and ὤρφωσεν (: ὀρφόω) ὠρφάνισεν we get a noun *ὀρφος, of which ὀρφανός, with the same meaning, seems to be a purely formal enlargement after other adj. in - ανός. With *ὀρφος agree exactly Arm. orb, -oy `orphan' and Lat. orbus `orphaned, bereft', IE * orbho-s. A i̯o-deriv. is supposed in Celt. and (a loan from there?) the Germ. word for `heritage' (so prop. *"orphans possessions" ?; diff., not convincing, Porzig Gliederung 121f.), e.g. OIr. orb(b)e, orpe n., Goth. arbi, OHG arbi, erbi n.; from there ` der Erbe', e.g. OIr. orb(b)e m., Goth. arbja, OHG arpeo, erbo m.

39 γναφεύς
γναφεύς, έως, ὁ (Hdt. et al.; the older spelling was κναφεύς [s. Kühner-Bl.

Since the Eng. term ‘fuller’ refers to one who shrinks and thickens cloth, a more general rendering such as cloth refiner is required to cover the various components. In our lit. (only Mk 9:3) ref. is to the bleaching aspect, without suggesting that the term applies only to one engaged in that particular feature. Hence such glosses as ‘bleacher’ or ‘fuller’ would overly limit the professional niche.—DELG s.v. κνάπτω. M-M. -
