Titera's Tidbit: Pima
Imagine the scenario: a conquistador rides up to an Indian tilling a field in the Arizona desert and asks, politely, ?Quien es usted? ("Who are you?") The Indian replies, Pim'ach, and, satisfied, the conquistador enters that name on his map. "Pima" it has been since, naming an Arizona county and a kind of cotton, but what the Indian said was, "I don't understand you."
