Amos,

Tlalcahua as something forgotten is composed of the non-specific something
prefix tla and the verb ilcahua, which I would break into il- denoting
something "mental" and cahua, "to leave," e.g. niccahua in comitl itech
mocal," I left my bowl at your house.

best,
Mark

For with much wisdom comes much sorrow; the more knowledge, the more
grief. Eccl 1:18

To realize that our knowledge is ignorance, this is a noble insight. To
regard our ignorance as knowledge, this is mental sickness.  Only when we
are sick of our sickness, shall we cease to be sick.  The Sage is not
sick, being sick of sickness; This is the secret of health.  TTC 71
