Ixtlahuac

[Gordon Whittaker]

Dear Christa,

You'll probably get several takers on this, but anyway here's one analysis:

Ixtla:huac is a locative expression composed of the noun ixtla:hua-tl
'plain' and the postposition -c 'at, on, in, by'. So, together this means
'On the Plain'.

By the way, place names ending in ixtla:hua-ca:n, e.g. Co:a:ixtla:huaca:n,
should be distinguished from the many that end in -hua'-ca:n, although
they look identical in most non-linguistic citations.

Best wishes,
Gordon
