Roer

My comment:

Anolar El Diccionario de la Real Academia lo incluye con las acepciones de roer, chupar y como derivado del maya nol. En realidad, anolar es dar vueltas en la boca a algún alimento. Otros verbos Los yucatecos utilizan numerosos préstamos del maya: chuyar (robar), coox virar (vamos a cambiar de bando) y chocolomo (un guiso).

consider

My comment:

ponder, ruminate, 'mull over', any act that involves running a thought through the mind, much as one rolls something around one's tongue, in the mouth.

to Anolar is a verb - means to roll around in your mouth or suck

My comment:

Consulting a Cordemex Mayan dictionary, the word comes from the Mayan 'nol' which means to roll around in the mouth, as in a small seeded fruit like the guaya for example. So it's a españolizacion of the original Mayan 'nol'
