The Mistery of Belicena Villca means " Time ". In this dialect , “ chutquiy ” is the transitive verb “ dislocar ”, so your word would mean " to dislocate Time "; or " dislocation of Time ", in a more current sense .

Now I was going to use her as an excuse , to get information . I looked up the three huge volumes of the " Dictionary of Freemasonry " in the University Library and I went to the Police Headquarters . In Salta this occupies an old colonial building next to the City Hall , in front of the main square , florid and provincial . I parked the car next to a parking meter , several blocks from my destination and I walked down Belgrano street towards downtown .
