YŌLQUĪZAC someone cheerful, happy, content / alegre, contento (Z), gozoso (Z) [(5)Zp.8,33,64,232]. This is opposite in sense from M’s verb yolquixtia ‘to annoy someone very much.’ Of five attestations, three have final -C and two do not. On Zp.232 both forms are given as separate entries, although the glosses do not contrast. See YŌL-LI, QUĪZ(A).
