I've always wondered about Nahualli - sorcerer.  It seemed to my  
uneducated guess to mean that sorcery and language were similar.  Or  
rather, that one altered the world by using words.  Given how  
important the Mexica found the whole concept of words, communication  
and written words, this makes sense to me.
