tenhuia

[Tomas Amaya]

Hi Tocnihuan!


The word is used in Nahuat with the meaning
"talk about somebody/something”; “remember something /somebody”, etc.

Using your example:


ahmo aquin quitenhuiz (the piece of land):
nobody will talk about it/nobody will remember it/nobody will mention it/nobody
will say anything about it. 


Namechoyoltapalohua!
