bapotó

/bapoˈto/

noun, masculine/bapoˈto/plural: bapotós

a person not native to Fernando Po, foreigner

Según Aymemí, “El llamar a los indígenas de Fernando Poo con el nombre bubis es propio de los españoles, porque los demás bapotós [“extranjeros” en lengua indígena], sean blancos o morenos, danles el nombre de bubes”.According to Aymemí, “Calling the natives of Fernando Poo by the name bubis is peculiar to the Spaniards, because the other bapotós [‘foreigners’ in the indigenous language], whether white or black, call them bubes.”

Borrowed from Bube apottò (or from a variant such as bapottò), plural of öpottò (“white person”).
