Michael:

I like the 'millacatontli' solution. It is just that  - after years and
years of seeing the incrediblly crative [to be kind and respectful]
transformations of items in transcriptions when I have been able to
compare them with the original manuscripts - I do not take anything for
granted, doubles a's or anything else.

Again, I like the 'millacatontli' possibility.

Ye ixquich.

Barry,
The only thing is, that double aa, it seems, would be an unlikely
miswritten e. Anything's possible, quil, but an e seems unlikely.
