Picito (Carpesian:Bicita) is an island in the Carpesian Archipelago west of Tarbor. It is the third largest island in the archipelago. There are currently no inhabited settlements in the island.
Etymology
The carpesian word for picito, Bicita, originaly came from a bastardization of the word piscina (meaning pool or pond in an native dialect), by early cajrabenik settlers of the island. It refers to the large bay formed in the eastern part of the island. The word was then further changed, with the arrival of the Areolans, to Picito.
