conejo y abuela

[Michael McCafferty]

Does anyone know how cihtli 'hare' and cihtli 'grandmother' became 
homophones? Is this a case of accidental harmony owing to sound 
changes. I notice in Karttunen's dictionary that there is a dialectal 
term for  'grandmother' in the form ciztli.

tlazohcamati,

Michael
