[Amapohuani at aol.com]

Listeros:

Related are "camissatiua" and "tilmatiua" in Molina's 1569 CONFESSIONARIO

cannot consult my copy directly but I remember these two items very well. 
Perhaps this will help shed a little more light on this discussion since facing 
Spanish translations [of varying specificity and usefulness] might be of help. 

Or not.

Ye ixquich.
