Query: Nahuatl for "Venus"

[David Gloster]

As no one else has yet come forth with an answer, here's my try:

I seem to remember that Venus had two names in Nahuatl depending on whether it was
visible as the morning star or the evening star. I think the morning name was
TLAHUIZCALPANTEUCTLI but I've no way of checking it. Maybe someone with a dictionary at
hand could look it up and confirm. I'm afraid I can't help you with the evening version,
though.

Best of luck
