Cuitlahuac-Cuitlahuacah

[Michael McCafferty]

Estimados,

I'm behind looking at and responding to messages, but

when "Cuitlahuac" first came across the pixels the other day, and i 
said it aloud for the first time, what i heard was 'it dried like 
excrement',

from a cuitlatl shortened to cuit-, a shorteneing we see happening 
elsewhere in the language;

and then tlahuaqui 'for something to dry out', where the tla- is fused 
to the verb *huaqui 'dry', and would thus permit a noun suffix such as 
cuit(latl).

But i can't say for sure that the past tense of tlahuaqui is *tlahuac. 
Seems like it would be that, but i don't have the information at hand 
to verify that.
