We grew up in south Texas. As kids, when we were sick Mom would call us uchachany. Is that correct, and how does it translate in English?
Thanks for your help!

My mistake. I posted the original comment and didn't follow up. Thanks, you guys, for replying. Our mom would say that word sort of like, "Anthony, are you feeling uchachany?", (most often when I was ill).
She pronounced it as oo-cha-cha'-nee.
When we visited our Grandma Novak in El Campo, we would call her something like Stazhankha. Something Mom wanted us to call her.
Pronounced: Stah-zhang-kah
I'm wondering what it meant. I don't think it means Grandma.
