Otra abusión tenían: cuando alguno tenía alguna sementera o maíz o de chilli o de chían o frisoles, si comenzaba a granizar, luego sembraba ceniza por el patio de su casa.
\nTenían otra superstición: decían que para que no entrasen los bruxos en casa a hacer daño, era bueno una navaja de piedra negra en una escudilla de agua puesta tras la puerta o en el patio de la casa, de noche. Decían que se vían allí los bruxos, y en viéndose en el agua con la navaja de dentro, luego daban a huir, ni osaban más volver aquella casa.
\nOtra superstición era: decían que el que comía lo que el ratón había roído, pan o queso o otra cosa, que le levantarían algún falso testimonio de hurto o de adulterio o de otra cosa.
\nOtra abusión era: que los [que] se cortaban las uñas echábanlas en el agua. Decían que por esto el animalejo que se llama ahuítzotl haría que les naciesen bien las uñas, porque es muy amigo de comer las uñas.
\nOtra superstición: decían que el que esternudaba era señal que alguno decía
