Tegucigalpa

[Frye, David]

What we are most likely looking at is a name from a local language, translated into Nahuatl by the Spaniards' central Mexican allies, and then written down by the same people who got Churubusco out of Huitzilopochco. I wouldn't expect too much correspondence with any original form.

In some modern versions of Nahuatl, such as Hueyapan, as I recall,
intervocalic -k- becomes -g-, which might help to explain the "g", but the
"zt" of "coztic" to "s", I don't know.
