Tula vs. Teotihuacan

[Michael McCafferty]

this question made the rounds a few years ago. i don't remember what 
was said. ^^

The thing is, Henry's comparison is stilted since cochi is intransitive 
and "teotia" is causative.

my guess would that we have instransitive teoti = "to become a God," 
similar to tlacati = "to become a human," i.e., "to be born". I'm not 
sure such a phrase can be precisely translated into English. What? 
"Place where they are to be Gods".

Hmmmm...
