"Twins"
I have "cocoa" for serpents, as in, perhaps, "dragon twins" but these
two little girls fancy themselves twins also. Would "Cocoa" (pl.?) be
something they might run through a courtyard shouting as the equivalent
of: [we are] Twins! Mellisas! Cocoas!

I'm sorry I cannot help you with your query. Pero creo pertinente decirte
que _mellizas_ va con zeta.
