Que Sea Capuz en tu casa

Question

My uncle wrote the above phrase in a letter to me.

I can't find what it means. Can anyone explain to me in English.

Thanks

Answer 1

Thanks to Eddy and Lazarus.

Th letter my uncle wrote to me accompanied a box of treasures that belong to my recently deceased grandmother. So, the safe in your house meaning is the best fit for me.

Thanks again for your assistance

Answer 2

Could this mean "hope that you are safe in your house", ie covered, protected.

Answer 3

This link gives some images, perhaps one might "fit" your context, forgive the pun.

Answer 4

Lazarus, you are correct and the first reply was along the lines of "cloaking the house", which made no sense to me.

Answer 5

Try this link. It appears to be something like a "mourning cape with a hood".

Answer 6

Read my previous post: The word "Capuz" doesn't exist, or it is a regional slang not listed in any of my dictionaries.

Maybe it is "capaz" (capable) misspelled - I can't think of a better alternative right now.

Answer 7

What about the word "cupuz"'

Answer 8

I'd swear I have seen this question before. The word "Capuz", as I already said it doesn't exist, or it is a regional slang not listed in any of my dictionaries. The sentence, without any context, means either:

Que sea capuz en tu casa = I hope you are "Capuz" in your house.
...que sea capuz en tu casa = that you are "Capuz" in your house.
