With the risk of being wrong, it seems to be that the meaning of this word could be quot; something dark, confusing, difficult to understand quot;.Actually, this is an opinion personal of which not I am safe and well could be a mistake.It is not the first time that I am wrong, nor the last I will do it.
Term that is used in some countries of Latin America with the meaning of lies, words empty or little credible or vanalidades. I believe that this term comes not from Basque, but vacuum, by linguistic distortion, because the Basques as a rule are noble people and do not lie, although in some cases they are somewhat exaggerated and gross, like Bilbao, who say that they are the navel of the world, but we all know that they are Bilbao.
