Nahuatl Digest, Vol 320, Issue 1

[Magnus Pharao Hansen]

Listeros,

Thanks for all of your quick replies. I agree that the word is probably
related to (mo)iskoa, but the attestation I have is specifically as the
noun, moskotl with the meaning fire. If derived from the reflexive moskoa
it is quite an odd deverbal derivation. If you happen upon a nominal with
the form moskotl (or moskol, moskot, or even muskut) I'd be very happy to
know of it.

best wishes,
Magnus
