2 burro
1) New Mexico: 1844. A donkey. Sometimes referred to a mule. According to Blevins, "also known as 'Arizona nightingale,' Colorado mockingbird,' 'desert canary,' 'mountain canary,' 'Rocky Mountain canary,' 'Washoe canary,' 'western nightingale'." The DRAE references burro as an ass or solipede animal.2) Among cattlemen, the word also refers to a stand made for storing a saddle when it is not in use. The VCN concurs. The stand has the appearance of a pitched roof of a house, and Adams says that it is much better to rest a saddle on a burro than to hang it or lay it on the ground. The DRAE indicates that a burro is a type of adjustable sawhorse. -
