tlaaxnellolli

[campbel at INDIANA.EDU]

Ian,

   *Just* from the point of view of the elements contained in 'tlaaxnelolli',
it would seem not to refer literally to "bitumen" or "chicle".

   'nelihui' -- "swirl"
   'neloa' (causative) -- "stir, mix"
   'tlanelolli' (patientive noun) -- "something which is mixed"
   'a:xin' "insect which yields a secretion"
   'tlaaxnelolli' -- "something which is mixed 'axinly'" (with axin)

Molina's secretions of 'axin' are down below (along with those of the Florentine).
