macochtli

[Galen Brokaw]

John,
Lopez Austin includes "macochtli" in his list of body parts in volume 2 
of _The Human Body and Ideology_. He takes his definition from Dibble 
and Anderson: "The inner side or middle part of the arm" (vol. II, p. 
159). This is also used to form "macochoa" meaning to hug, to embrace.
