Related are "camissatiua" and "tilmatiua" in Molina's 1569 CONFESSIONARIO MAYOR (see the UNAM photoreproduction). I am not at home in Glendale, CA, so I cannot consult my copy directly but I remember these two items very well. Perhaps this will help shed a little more light on this discussion since facing Spanish translations [of varying specificity and usefulness] might be of help. <BR>

So it looks like this is the impersonal form of "teoti", "he/she/it becomes or becomes like a god". A better translation of "teotihua" would be "god-becoming happens". I don't have a grammar with me, and I'm trying to think, are there other place names built on the preterite of the impersonal form of a verb? And, can the preterite of the impersonal form of a verb be interpreted as a noun?<BR>
