<html><body style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space; ">Hi, all.<div><br></div><div><div>I'm working through several passages in Sahagún's <i>General History</i> that contain the word ineixcahuil. Dibble & Anderson translate the term "his personal privilege," "characteristics" or "his special attribute" (2:52, 10:118a and 11:228), but I'm not sure how they determined these translations. In particular, I'm stuck on the final -l. Is it a patientive noun ending (Lockhart 28)? If so, does the word mean something like "his abandoned/relinquished face/surface?"
