Hello, i am new to studying Nahuatl and i have been working extensively with
Campbell and Karttunen's foundation course books (vols. 1 and 2). I am
getting some command of the vocabulary but i am woefully feeble at
contracting words.
Please help with the following words:
CLOUD JAGUAR -- cloud is Mix (any other words for this?) / jaguar is Ocelotl
or Tecuani
--- so would this word then be Mixocelotl? or Mixtecuani ? (that just
seems wrong to me :)
SMOKE BUTTERFLY -- butterfly is Papalotl / smoke is Poctli
--- so would this word then be Poctlipapalotl (again, this just seems
wrong)
Thank you,
~Roland Trevino, Esq.
