Spanish term or phrase: esquimos (illegible)
Hi. I am trying to decipher a poorly handwritten list of items in a household. It reads: Tocador, sofa, esquimos (?) I'm not certain that the word is indeed esquimos, but that is what I am able to make out. Please refer to the image file of this list here: http://www.evernote.com/shard/s81/sh/1da339b6-9060-41e7-bf1e...

TIA

esquineros
Explanation:
I think the right word is "esquineros" not esquimos (by the way, in Mexico esquimos are popsicles covered with chocolate). Esquineros is a kind of table that fits in corners. Saludos!

Explanation:
Of course, it's very difficult to make out the word, but IMO it could be "esquineros", which is at least a piece of furniture.
Good luck!
