apoxcahuarse

[Frye, David L]

Santamaria's Diccionario de mexicanismos has (for what it's worth): 
 
Aposcahuarse. (De la preposicion a, y el azt. poxcauhqui, cosa mohosa.) pr. Enmohecerse, oxidarse, crear orin una cosa.
                              2. En general, pudrirse.
 
Frances Karttunen's Analytical Dictionary of Nahuatl has:
 POXCAHU(I), to get moldy, dank / enmohecerse o henchirse alguna cosa de orin (M). See POXCAHUIYA.
 
 POXCAHUIYA, to get covered with slime / se enlama (T). See POXCAHU(I).

This does not have anything to do with this thread ( I do not think) 
but this thread started me thinking about a phrase my grandmother used. 
she was from Amozoc, Puebla. 

she would say "esta APOXCAHUADO" is the root of this "aztequizmo"  poxcahui?
