Hola Marcos:

El numero de palabras de origen Nahuatl que usamos en Mexico es infinito!
Una probadita puedes darla adquiriendo el "Diccionario de Aztequismos" (en
realidad "nahuatlismos"!!!!) de Luis Cabrera, Ediciones Oasis, Mexico. La
version que yo tengo es de 1980.

Un cordial saludo,
Susana Moraleda
(una mexicana en Roma)
