Estimados listeros,

I’ve collected nanacameh (< nanacatl, hongo) as one of the interchangeable
words used for the ahuaqueh, the invisible owners of water that inhabit the
netherworld in Tepoztlan, Morelos.  A verb form, nanacatia, is used as a
synonym for “to benumb.”  Has anyone come across similar uses of these terms
in their fieldwork or library research?  I’d appreciate any citations that
you can give me.

Thanks,

Tom Grigsby
