to the point: In the vocabulary of the Florentine Codex, compiled by Joe,
I found the word _tocayoh_ 'renowned.' Also, I am wondering if it is possible
to form a word like _tocayiuh_ from _tocaitl_ 'name' and _iuh_ 'as,' 'like,'
'as if.' But it looks much more like a verb.</font></font><o:p></o:p></span></span>
