pronoun burrú
[bu.ˈru] 
i
(1SG, see notes)
 Faxiwo Source Language: Spanish and Faxiwo
Etymology
▶ Blend of Spanish "burro" (donkey) + Faxiwo "-urrú".
▶ Cultural note: the as-s-imilation of the concept of "I" and "donkey" here, besides just being purely jocular is related to the Spanish expression "el burro delante pa' que no se espante" (the donkey goes first so it doesn't get scared"), an expression often uttered to recriminate the use of "yo y [alguien más]" (I and [sb else]), which is considered unpolite, instead of "[alguien] y yo" ([somebody] and I).
Notes
▶ Spanish gloss: *yo*
Sample of this word
Burrú ko tu pepo (yo soy tu amigo).
