I recently posted a question about cases of wordplay in Nahuatl, and am
still interested in getting opinions. I'm talking about the type of
double meanings that appear in words like Tonacatecuhtli-
Burkhart argues for the "Our-flesh lord", while Lopez Austin would say
that there is a deliberate double meaning created between nacatl and
tonacatl, "sustenance."
Just wondering if anyone has any other interesting (or not)
examples or ideas about this sort of thing. Thanks- J. Sanchez
