Or joints, arms, hands, feet, legs, thighs, knees, &c.

rastro el puma el gato
Abundan entonces los frutos, y en su busca vienen a rondar al pie de los árboles, el pecarí porcino, la avizora paca, el agutí de carne negra y sabrosa, el tajú bajo su coraza invulnerable; y, como ellos son cebo a su vez, acuden sobre su rastro el puma, el gato montés elegante y pintoresco, el aguará en piel de lobo, cuando no el jaguar
— from Heath's Modern Language Series: The Spanish American Reader by Ernesto Nelson


This tab, called Hiding in Plain Sight, shows you passages from notable books where your word is accidentally (or perhaps deliberately?) spelled out by the first letters of consecutive words.
