Frances Karttunen: 

PĪCCA-TL wrapping / envoltura (K) [(4)Zp.63,65,157,159]. This is attested in the possessed forms -MĀPĪCCA 'glove' and -CUĀPĪCCA 'bonnet.' M has picca, also in possessed form, referring to the vulva, and S gives piccatl as the absolutive form. S is the only authority for the absolutive form. The attestations from the sources for this dictionary are compatible with this being the possessed form of PĪCQUI 'something wrapped up.' See PĪQU(I).
