tziqui.

Headword: 
tziqui.
Principal English Translation: 

a bit of something (see Karttunen)

IPAspelling: 
tsiki
Frances Karttunen: 

TZIQUI a bit of something / poquito, chiquito, chaparrito, pequeño, bajo (de estatura) (T for reduplicated form) [(3)Cf.125v, (1)Tp.244]. This is only attested bound to the additional diminutives -TZIN and -TON. The form TZIQUITŌN is so close to Spanish chiquito that it suggests a loan formation, but this is not necessarily the case.
