One source (Chimalpahin 1965:10710 [relación 3]) indicates that there were two separate incursions or reconquests into the Matlatzinco area as a result, in 1484 and 1485, but the other chronicle sources indicate only one campaign (Códice Telleriano-Remensis 196465:294; Garcia Icazbalceta 188692, 3:253; Mengin 1952:455). |

1. Unlike the way the other kings' names have been treated in this book, "Otter" is not a literal translation, nor is there a satisfactory literal translation. One possible translation is "water thornness" from a- (atl, water), -huitz- (huitztli, thorn), and -yotl (-ness), but this makes no apparent sense. Another possible derivation is from the unattested verb huitzoa (to become thorny, to become like a thorn) in a manner similar to other such Nahuatl constructions (e.g., Andrews 1975:241, 242, 358). This may present a more satisfactory construction, but its meaning is no more transparent. The name is usually translated as "water creature" or "water monster" (e.g., Pasztory 1983:53; Soustelle 1970:1718), apparently influenced by Ahuitzotl's name glyph (see fig. 27) which shows a doglike creature with water on its back (see Nicholson and Keber 1983:120 for a discussion of the glyph). However, in his sixteenth-century natural history of Mexico, Hernández (1959, 2:393) lists ahuitzotl as the name for an otter, an animal indigenous to the basin of Mexico (Leopold 1972:46164; Memoria de las obras 1975, 1:15253). Thus, I have translated Ahuitzotl directly as ''Otter," which is what it signifies, rather than attempting to give its literal meaning. |
