Quoting Jesse Lovegren <lovegren at buffalo.edu>:
>> On that, Kartunen's dictionary notes: "In compounds Ya:o: also means 'war,
> battle,' but as a free form 'war' is ya:o:yo:-tl, contrasting with ya:o:tl,
> 'enemy.'
'war-woman' does in fact make sense in this grammatical context.
I wonder about how one distinguishes an 'enemy-woman' from a 'war-woman'.
