This word, acaxilqui, appears several times in Book II of the
Florentine Codex (see esp. p. 71).  Dibble and Anderson
translate it as "scroll design".  I've tried looking this word
up, and parsing it in several ways, but to no avail.  Does
anyone have some insight into its etymology and/or how Dibble
and Anderson came up with this translation?
