Molina--Vocabulario<BR>
<BR>
"Mojon o linde de heredad" quaxochtli<BR>
<BR>
(Molina shows show more elaborated forms also relating to placing boundaries, etc.).<BR>
<BR>
What is the current thinking on the etymology of this common but important item? Simeon, never that shy, does not hazard a guess. <BR>
<BR>
Is it or something like it in current use among any groups?<BR>
<BR>
Thanks,<BR>
