Fwd: tlahtoani

[Stephanie Wood]

Hello Joost,

If you might be interested in seeing what we have in the online Nahuatl Dictionary under "tlatoani" (also with vowel length and glottal stops marked, and other spellings), go here:  http://whp.uoregon.edu/dictionaries/nahuatl/index.lasso

What we offer, especially, are attestations of the term as used in colonial documents.

Best wishes,
Stephanie Wood

> The word 'tlahtoani', although a conjugated verb form, usually has the function
