101 cama
(Sp. model spelled same [káma] < Hispanic Latin cama 'bed or couch on the ground,' probably of pre-Roman origin). Nevada: 1940. This General Spanish term for bed sometimes refers to a buckaroo's bedroll. The Spanish term may connote a jocular or pejorative meaning, since a bed on the hard ground next to the campfire is not likely to be very comfortable or fancy. Spanish sources do not reference this particular meaning for the term.
