nauh coincidence?

[John Sullivan]

Fran and Joe especially,
    Is the following (suggested by a colleague in Cuernavaca) a coincidence
or is there a linguistic foundation?
1. (tla)canaua: adelgazar tablas o piedras anchas o la loça cuando la hace
(Molina).
2. Nahualpilli: dios de los lapidarios (Simeon).
3. nahui: adj.n. para contar los seres animados, los objetos finos y planos
(Simeon).
