/Sounds like "peh" (as in "pet") + "TAH" (as in "tar") + "teh" (as in "ten")/
A woven palm mat used for sleeping or sitting in Mexico and Central America. From Nahuatl 'petatl,' the petate is the original pre-Hispanic mattress that's still alive in popular culture.
“My grandma used to sleep on a petate on the floor.”
“They laid out the petate under the tree.”

Tunante
A charming rogue in Spain: someone with wit and cunning who always has a trick up their sleeve but never loses their likability. The tunante is not truly bad, just very skilled at getting their way, and you cannot help but admire them a little for it.
