XOLOPIHTLI

[Susana Moraleda]

 Piyali,

Help, please! Would really appreciate some feedback on my reasoning for the 
ethymology of this word.

XOLOPIHTLI is "fool"
it comes from XOLOPIHTI (to joke like a fool)

 the passive is XOLOPIHTIHUA?
If so, its sustantivo verbal de paciente would be XOLOPIHTITLI
If instead the passive is XOLOPIHTILO
then we'd have XOLOPIHTILLI

 Otherwise using the active voice, preterite tense, we could have 
XOLOPIHTICTLI

So how do we come up with XOLOPIHTLI?

 And the adverb would be XOLOPIHTICA (jokingly, foolishly)?

 Am I completely wrong?

Thanks!
Susana
