6 istle
OED: 1883. A fiber obtained from an agave or yucca plant, used to make carpets, nets, ropes, and other items. The OED indicates that it comes from Bromelia sylvestris and several species of agave, such as Agave ixtli. Santamaría glosses two related terms. He indicates that in Mexico iscle refers to the filament of the maguey plant before it has been rinsed. After the rinsing process, it is called pita. It is also the common name of several agave plants that produce the fiber, such as Agave rigida and A. endlichiana. Ixtle is a related Aztequism that has become a universal name for any vegetable fiber, especially the ones produced by plants of the genus Agave. By extension, it refers to several ropes made of such fiber used by charros. See also lechuguilla. -

In Peru, something between a quarter and a third of the population use Quechua, and the position in Bolivia and Ecuador is similar. It is also spoken in northern Chile and Argentina, and southern Colombia. Quechua was the language of the Inca empire, so the variety spoken in the Inca capital of Cuzco was the most important of its many dialects. The number of speakers declined dramatically in the centuries following the Spanish conquest, but in more recent years there have been official attempts to promote the language. As with the Aztec language Nahuatl, many Quechua words passed into Spanish, and on to many other languages. For example, in English we find “condor”, “jerky” (n, = dried meat) and “quinine”. -

13 ayate
(Sp. model spelled same [ajáte]< Nahuatl ayatl 'thin cloth made of maguey fiber')Glossed by Carlisle as a square or rectangular piece of plaid cloth used to carry diverse items by southwestern Indians. It was fashioned into a sling and served to transport pottery, foodstuffs, and other things. The term is referenced in the DRAE, DM, and VCN. All three Spanish sources say that the term refers to a woven fabric made of maguey fiber used as a sort of bag to carry fruit and other items. The DRAE indicates that the fabric could have been made of palm fibers, henequen, or cotton. Buckaroos who resided in Indian territory likely would have seen this artifact and known its name. -
14 bayo coyote
(Sp. model spelled same [bájokojóte]; Spanish bayo [see above] plus coyote < Nahuatl coyotl 'coyote'; coyote-colored bay)A dun horse with a black dorsal stripe. Southwestern sources list this term as a synonym of bayo lobo, but Santamaría indicates that the terms are not synonymous in Mexico. According to the DM, bayo coyote is used more often for mules than for horses. It is a lighter color than bayo lobo and a horse so designated often has white spots on its head, flank, and belly. The bayo lobo horse, on the other hand, has dun and black hairs that blend to produce a darker shade of dun.Alternate form: bayo lobo.Also known as coyote dun, lobo dun. -
15 campomoche
( campamocha [kampamót∫a]; of uncertain origin, probably from Nahuatl campa-mo-chan 'where your house is' via Spanish). California: 1919. Bentley references this term as an insect known as a 'praying mantis' ( Mantis religiosa), so called because its folded wings resemble a clerical garment and its front two legs resemble hands clasped in prayer. The insect is also known as the "praying insect," "devil's horse." The term campomoche is also applied to a smaller green or gray-colored insect with a sticklike body, sometimes called a "walking-stick." The walking-stick is difficult to distinguish from the plants that it inhabits, and it is said to be fatal to cattle when they ingest it along with grass. Islas confirms that the insect is poisonous and kills numerous cattle in Chihuahua, Mexico, when they accidentally eat it. Santamaría references campamocha as an orthopterous insect of the mantis family that deposits its eggs in a multicolored capsule that is also called a campamocha. He provides the genus and species Stagmomantis limbata. Cobos indicates that the campamocha is the common praying mantis. Islas and Cabrera describe a different insect that blends in with foliage because of its sticklike appearance. -
16 chapo
(Sp. model spelled same [t∫ápo], of disputed origin. May be from Nahuatl tzapa 'dwarf' or from Spanish chaparro 'short, stubby person.' Sobarzo suggests it is the shortened form of the past participle chapodado, meaning 'cut off' [as the branches of a tree])Clark: 1850s. Short and stocky, chubby, or a person with those characteristics. Clark indicates that this term may also refer to a horse. Not referenced in the DRAE. Santamaría and Sobarzo gloss chapo as a noun or adjective that describes a short, fat person. Cobos indicates that the meaning is the same in New Mexico and southern Colorado and that chopo exists as an alternate form in Spanish.Alternate forms: chopo, chupo. -
17 chicote
(Sp. model spelled same [t∫ikóte], of disputed origin; either from French chicot 'piece of a trunk or cut root emerging from the ground,' 'splinter embedded in a horse's hoof,' or 'root of a tooth' [DRAE, Corominas]; or from Nahuatl xicotli 'wasp with a loud buzz and a painful sting' [Cabrera])Also called latigo, azote. -
18 chongo
(Sp. model spelled same [t∫óŋgo], of uncertain origin. Cabrera hypothesizes that it comes from the Nahuatl tzónyoc 'hair on top' < tzontli 'hair' plus yoh 'abundant' plus c 'place')1) DARE: 1967. "A woman's bun; a top-knot."2) Carlisle: 1913. Carlisle glosses it as "a pigtail worn by the older Isleta Pueblo Indians."3) New Mexico: 1893. Apparently by extension from (2), a steer with a drooping horn; the horn itself. Glossed in the DARE and the DM as a hairstyle in which the hair is twisted into a ball and secured on the back of the head. The DRAE also notes that in the Dominican Republic it can mean a common or poor-quality horse. No Spanish source references (3), however. -
19 colonche
(Sp. model spelled same [kolón,t∫e], of uncertain origin; possibly from Nahuatl coloa 'to twist or turn')California: 1846. Referenced in the DARE as "a fermented drink made from the tuna plant." The DRAE glosses it as an intoxicating drink made from the juice of the red prickly pear plant mixed with sugar. Santamaría and Cabrera indicate that it is a type of tepache. Islas says that it is a regional drink in San Luis Potosí, Mexico, but Santamaría indicates that it is consumed principally by the Tarahumara and Yaqui Indians in Chihuahua and Sonora, Mexico, and by American Indians in Arizona and California.Alternate form: calinche. No doubt a few buckaroos got drunk on such a concoction when other preferred alcoholic drinks were unavailable. -
20 coyote
(Sp. model spelled same [kojóte] < Nahuatl cóyotl 'coyote')Noun forms:1) Clark: 1820s. A small American wolf ( Canis latrans). Spanish sources provide the same genus and species. Santamaría indicates that it is a wolf about the size of a large dog. It has yellowish-gray fur and is endowed with instincts and cunning, making it similar in behavior to the fox.Alternate forms: cayeute, cayota, cayote, cayute, collote, coyoto, cuiota, cyote, kiote, otie.Also called barking wolf, brush wolf, cased wolf, medicine wolf, prairie wolf.2) Southern California: 1872. An Indian or a person with one Indian parent. Santamaría says that coyote sometimes refers to a criollo, or a person of Spanish descent born in the Americas, or to his/her parents. Cobos concurs, pointing out that in southern Colorado and New Mexico it also means the offspring of an Anglo-American, Indo-Hispanic marriage. Sobarzo indicates that it is a synonym for mestizo or mestiza, a mixture of European and Indian blood, and is common in the feminine. Galván provides a similar meaning for the term in Chicano Spanish, namely "half-breed."3) A contemptible person; a liar or cheat; one who sneaks around like a coyote. Also a squatter.4) According to Blevins, a person from the Dakotas.5) DARE (Adams): 1903. A dun-colored horse with a dark strip down its back.Also called coyote dun.6) Verb forms: to clear out; run away.
