Muisca meaning of izha:
"the letter / I / in Izha is very important and refers to nobility. It is short for ZHA ZHA, 'the spindle for spinning', as described by the spinners themselves. In this noble village, Father BOTCHIQA BENEVOLENTLY taught the art of spinning and weaving using cotton and wool.
IZHA can be translated as 'the nobility of yarn spinning' or 'the spinning masters'."
