Principal English Translation:
a digging stick or plow, with a sideways or crooked element? (see also huictli)
Attestations from sources in English:
"The Culhuacan texts...mention a chicohuictli, chico- being an element meaning 'sideways, to one side, crooked,' etc. (TC, doc. 75, p. 260). Whether this is different from the ordinary huictli I am not prepared to say."
