EXPLORER 2: how bout Newfoundland

EXPLORER 1: that assumes that this land was lost, though someone clearly lives here, try harder

THANK YOU: "Also: Pro-tip to Americans: Please stop saying "Guac" when you order guacamole in your burrito at Chipotle Mexican Grill. Whenever you utter this abbreviation a little Nahuatl speaking kitten (and its Mexican Spanish-speaking best friend) somewhere dies."

Thanks!!

What is the Nahuatl meaning? I faintly remember reading somewhere that it relates to testicle. How bad is my memory?

Gel insoles will give you half one size...

Modern-day Mayans should sue the creators of Mutant Teenage Ninja Turtles, just saying... where's lawyer Jackie Chiles when he's needed?

We all know that domestication centers were literally paradise and people had lots of leisure time, so why not?

Ancient domesticor women were into sequencing?

Thanks!! The one near Ixtlan sounds promising... I was in Coapan (behind Ceboruco volcano) near Jala and Ixtlan and was told that there's teocintle in the hills above the town. Acaponeta may be a stretch, but still plausible. Also, west of Ixtlan there's plenty of teocintle along the Ameca river...

Please share if you remember the names before I Google myself into a rabbit hole 😂

Oh, and the basin is key... though there is teocintle further towards coast, lower elevation, up to ~1800 m for annual species, maize ancestor

Yes, post-conquest for the "illa" suffix, a diminutive, chico - chiquillo, bonito-bonitillo

I've noticed over the years that place names that include "milpillas" usually have teocintle, e.g., La Paz de Milpillas... milpilla is used for teocintle, as in milpa-like, milpa being a maize plant...

Thanks!! Seems pretty far into sierra, do the people mention "milpilla"? Or any Milpilla place names nearby?

Where is this? Thinking of maize and teocintle
