article on Aztecs

[R. Joe Campbell]

   When nouns (i.e., tewktli or teuctli) are embedded in verbs, we get the
clearest translation (equivalence with what we mean in English or Spanish)
if we translate them as objects of the verb or, as in this case, as
adverbs.  I can't think of a case where translating as "subject" would be
preferred.  Further, while the semantics of "mo-zoma" (or "nino-zoma")
certainly intersect the field of 'anger' ("cualani" or "yolpopozoca")
because of the relationship between the internal emotion and the facial
expression, "mozoma" means 'he frowns' -- 'he changes the shape of his
eyebrows in a negative way'.

   I will add some Molina-ness at the bottom.
