coaxahuacayo

[Campbell, R. Joe]

Nocnihuan,

   "coaxahuacayo" is a regularization of "cooaxaoacaio", which occurs
on p. 186 in Book 10 of the Dibble and Anderson's English edition.  I
thought that it might be a misprint for "cooaxaiacaio", so I checked
the facsimile.  Almost disappointed, I found that the transcription was
correct.

   But accepting "coaxahuacayo" would have the problem of not fitting 
with the occurrence of "coaxayacayo" (Book 8, p. 23; Book 12, p.6).  So 
I went back to the facsimile and looked more closely at the matching 
Nahuatl text in the left column -- and it had **coaxayacayo**!  So I 
started out looking for a TYPO and found a SCRIBO!!  ...and everyone 
who has been worrying about "coaxahuacayo" can put their minds at 
ease...

Joe
