Chapter C

Cabildo, Sp. A chapter; a council. In Central America, the
municipal court. See p. 76.

Cabriolé, Sp. A kind of riding coat; "a narrow riding coat
without sleeves." (Delpino, _Span. Dict._)

Campaneme, ?. p. 28. Probably for _campamento_.

Cana, Nah. A particle, expressing doubt, "any time,"
"anywhere." _Cuix cana otimoyolcuiti_, Have you
confessed anywhere? It cannot begin a sentence, but must
always follow some other word (Carochi, _Gram. Mex._, p.
158).

Cele, Sp. prov. A form of _zelar_, to be zealous for, to be
anxious for; _no me cele_, I do not very strongly
desire; used ironically.

Chiguigua, Nah. Perhaps _ti calaquia_, you will enter in.

Chiquimate, Nah. From _mati_, to know, _qui_, objective.

Chopaquimate, Nah. _Quimati_, see above. _Chopa_ and _chi_
seem to be personal forms.

Chocola, Nah. _Chocolatl_, a drink made from cacao. It has
been doubted whether there was a Nahuatl word in this
form. Don Jesus Sanchez denies it in his _Glosario de
Voces Castellanas derivadas del Idioma Nahuatl_, sub
voce (Mexico, 1883). But its pure Nahuatl origin seems
to be established by another writer (_An. del Museo
Nacional de Mexico_, Tom. iii, p. 86). From the text,
its meaning was in a wider sense a refection in general,
just as the English word "tea" means a meal.

Cinchera, Sp. The portion of the body of a horse or mule
where the saddle girth is fastened.

Cobijones, Sp. Large leather coverings to protect goods,
etc.

Cojudo, Sp. Not castrated. Applied to the entire horse, etc.

person.

Corcobios, Sp. Curvetings, gambolings. Applied to the steps
in certain dances.

Corridos, Sp. Running steps, or motions, in certain dances.

Cuascuane, Nah. From _cuicani_, to sing, chant.
