Query: cuilote

[Kevin Smith]

Dear Nahuatlatos,

A colleague of mine in transcribing an interview he did recently with a
100-year-old man in Ozumba. At one point, his informant states that he "built a
house of zacate and cuilote." Can anyone shed light on either the materials or
the implied method of construction?

Thanks much,

Kevin
