malinche II

[glaucia]

I know that Malinche had a important role in the conquest, but reading
Bernal Díaz del Castillo in many parts the word malinche was used, by the
indians, applied to the person of Cortés.
These made me thinking in others meanings and uses for the word malinche.
My friend study this woman in the conquest of México and had some theories,
focusing in the relations between the Indians and Cortés or Cortés and
Bernal Díaz, related to the use of the nahuatl word Malinche by Bernal
Díaz.
So I think if in the nahuatl language this word might have some meaning
then the name of Cortés' s translator.
Actually, I don't study this specific subject, right now I am studying the
image of some Codex.
