(Sp. model spelled same [alfórxa] < Arabic al-jurya 'the saddlebags')Bentley: 1847. A pair of bags or boxes made of rawhide, canvas, or wood suspended from a packsaddle; saddlebags. Spanish sources also register this meaning, among others. Another Arabic term introduced into Spanish in the Iberian Peninsula and brought to the New World by Spanish horsemen. Mexican vaqueros subsequently introduced alforja(s) to the ranchers, riders, and ropers in the Southwest.

83 brasero
(Sp. model spelled same [brasero] < brasa 'red hot coal' of Latin or pre-Roman origin, and - ero, a Spanish nominal suffix; hence, a place to put hot coal or firewood)Southern Texas: 1892.A type of brick oven used by Pueblo Indians and Mexicans, according to Watts. Also a container for holding hot charcoal, used for cooking or for heating. Carlisle comments that the term sometimes refers to a pile of hot coals. These definitions vary somewhat from those found in Spanish sources. The DRAE indicates that a brasero is a deep, circular metal dish with a rim in which one builds a fire for heating. It generally rests on a stand made of wood or metal. Santamaría notes that in Mexico it is a cooking range or stove. He also mentions a portable brasero and a smaller dish, or braserito, which was made of porcelain, clay, or silver and was an essential household item for smokers before the invention of the match. -
84 bueno
(Sp. model spelled same [bwéno] < Latin bonum 'good')Blevins observes that it was used as a cattle term in the Southwest during the open-range days. It referred to a cow that had not been claimed at a roundup and whose brand could not be found in the brand book. Such a cow was a good find because it could be slipped past brand inspectors. This meaning is not referenced in Spanish sources. -
