tlachtli and ullamaliztli...

[Ian Mursell]

Dear Listeros,

Please could I seek your help?  I¹m expanding and updating a page on our
educational website about the Mesoamerican ballgame.  I¹ve got as far as I
can without knowing Náhuatl and am keen to clarify the precise
meanings/derivations of the words -

Tlachtli
Tlachco
Ullamaliztli

Forgive me if this topic has come up before.  I¹d just like very much to
sort out what the Aztecs would have called a) the game, b) the court and if
possible c) the ball!

Our ballgame page is at -

Many thanks, as ever, and saludos,

Ian
