Nancy,

I am trying to learn Nahuatl myself (and Spanish). Here are a few resources
that are quite interesting.I don't have any references here at home from
which I can look up those specific words. But, there also some Nahuatl
dictionaries that you can probably access at a University library. You may
also want to search
for used books on the subject.

Here is a web site for the Nahuatl Language Institute at Yale University.
There are a few on-line lessons. They aren't easy. But, anything helps:
