[Campbell, R. Joe]

Nocnihuan,

   I *think* I've seen something somewhere sometime (maybe) that would 
help with my present problem, but who knows when my memory will start 
to function and help me with a solution, so I need help.

   You're probably familiar with "xopilli" (abstractly, since in 
principle it is inalienable and normally occurs with a possessive 
prefix): texopil, noxopil, etc.
And you may have visited the town of Tejupilco on the highway south of Toluca.
Again, my memory doesn't tell me whether the figure at the entrance to 
the town is a stone foot or (most likely) a big stone toe.

   But my question for y'all is whether you have seen "xopilli" used to 
mean 'scoop' (or derivations like "nicxopiloa", 'I scoop it').

Thanks in anticipation,

Joe
