I am sure of the spelling. It is from a work that was written by Las Casas in the 1600s. - alexkm02, Sep 1, 2010

Qfreed, surely a dictionary is not needed to translated extirpar into English, right?

Are you referring to the fact that it is a cognate "to extirpate"? I only included the link in case they weren't familiar with either the Spanish or English word. - 0074b507, Aug 25, 2010
