PIPILA

[Frances Karttunen]

I think the common sense of pipiltin as 'nobles' and the Pipil of Central
America (who speak a closely related language) is something like 'offspring
of a lineage.'  That might or might not imply nobility.  Maybe for the
Central Mexicans it did, but not necessarily for the Central Americans.

We should try to find out what Lyle Campbell thinks.  He wrote a major
grammatical description of Pipil.
