Just a bit of clarification-- aguamames (k.o. teething ring)-- my suggestion this might be a Span. loan based on the possible meaning: "suck water" though the final -es is odd. (agua, mamar) [SaSo] > xaxaun [SaSon] f. momia (?) Mummy????-- just to avoid any confusion, that's _mummy_ as in ancient Egypt et al.. There should be an accent on the "i". Did the Guanche do that?? I suspect the dict. of the Real Academia would be your best bet for archaic/ dialect forms. It may be on-line, and I believe Corominas is also on-line. Maybe you know this already.
