Interpreting the Mappe Quinatzin, leaf 2 and leaf 3

[Michael McCafferty]

En vrai, Pablo, i didn't read anything that came in today beside Mario 
Aguilar's posting, which looked like it had some substance, which of 
course it did.

En vrai, until the "Ometeotl" tlamantli appeared, i wasn't aware that 
contributors to Nahuat-l were other than serious *linguistic* scholars.

Mr. Offner today has provided what appears at first glance some 
substance to his earlier critiques of Dr. Lee's work. Not that he's 
necessarily right. The substance simply wasn't there before. And his 
intentions were not clear, either.
