[hom]bres a sus sobrinos, y de otra manera los llaman las mujeres. Los hombres dicen al sobrino nómach, y las mujeres dicen al sobrino nopilo, nopilotzin.
\nLa condición del buen sobrino es comedirse a hacer lo que conviene, sin que nadie se lo mande. Lo que le mandan una vez no es menester decírselo otra vez.
\nLas condiciones de sobrino vicioso, que se cría sin padre ni madre entre sus tíos y tías, que no tienen cuidado de castigarle, entiéndense de todo muchacho vicioso o travieso.

El sobrino tiene necesidad de ser doctrinado, enseñado, castigado y azotado. El buen sobrino tiene la condición del buen hijo. Véase allí. Hace los oficios humildes de casa. Es paciente cuando lo reprenden. El sobrino mal acondicionado
