And the saint of my people?
when night came I slept great and woke .. my gods were men ...
Surely we have ever wondered, how is that we all have a holy people, who worship once a year and excitedly go to him asking for or offering what we can give thanks for the kindness that we have received, but once at school told us that Quetzalcoatl, Tlaloc, Teosintli, Xochipili were gods of Anahuac some who inhabited the Aztecs called and not to us, if you live in the Midwest and we inherited a language of Mexican origin , then we descendants of those great cultures that gave us identity.
Aztec Thought never broke away from the coexistence and respect for the medium that gave life, thus representing the nature with many deities and the arrival of the English called idols, none was more important than another, because they have the same just in a different role now, this is palpable in the rites of water demand is usually done in the dry seasons in the Huasteca, where the community is organized and conducted prayers in the spring of town or some other space with the Holy principal, although usually with San Isidro Labrador, this reflects the relationship that still remains from ancient times to the nature, the clean in the hills, old trees, gullies, which many describe as witchcraft or sorcery, are made with prayers and saints we know today. CALL AS MY PEOPLE? Before the English arrived, the living spaces were named in his own language that described or explained by phonograms, now called place names, but with the spiritual conquest, Mexicans have internalized to be a saint, hence the real names in many indigenous regions became names of saints and today we will find San Felipe Ixtacuiztla, Tlaxcala., Santa Ana Jilotzingo, Mex., San Martín Chalchicuauhtla, SLP, San Sebastian Alcomunga, Pue., In the Huasteca many villages that retain the original name, that good so hopefully in schools is increasing knowledge of the cultural roots through historical knowledge of the people as a principle of identity. MEANS THE NAME OF MY TOWN? Place names have two ways of understanding, a description is literal and another is the logical and philosophical interpretation, the latter is more complicated because if one is theorized, may incur serious errors that could change the course of history. The logical interpretation is to support the literal, to reach them, you need a very deep field research in the first case, there could be seven springs and only be referring to one of them, as the largest, which takes more water or more important for some reason, though it refers to the seven springs, it would have to understand the relationship or there with them, but the place name is CHIKONAMELI noun, and no other particle to change it. The second example is more clear, that is an indication of place ko, known as locative, and if read from right to left even without the root of a preposition, it is understood in Castilian and in the place, can lingual economy look like "on the raft," for we know that the pond is always in the water.
In these two findings, I show that the names are not by chance and to understand many aspects have to dig it up, I hope someone is interested and find explanations of the names of neighborhoods, roads, streams, hills community, where this is, known part of his rationale. CASE
Between the years 1908 to 1910, as a result of social movement at the time, migrating households apparently inhospitable places so as not to be bothered by the insurgents, on the west side near the present city limits and Atlapexco Huazalingo, at the foot of a hill, there was much pineapple growing in the wild for what he called matiotla in phonetic variation matsojtla-abundance of pineapples or Pinal, this place was a family of Ixtacuatitla, in order to hide subsequently led to the need to cultivate what they could, over time other families came be more robust and fully, decided to buy a saint that consensus should be concluded that San Isidro Labrador, the surrounding villages were identified as San Isidro to acknowledge this in a political way, today is a town that first belonged to the Municipality of Atlapexco Yahualica and today. (Information given by Mr. Bernardino Hernandez.)
In this case, the name changed to the saint as well identified, but the name of Matiotla or Matzojtla, is known and accepted by the people, a good principle identity, few really know the meaning of the name of our people?
FOR UNDERSTANDING Irlos Place names have terminations in title, tla, loyan, ka, ko, k, ipan, pa, and some are noun but all indicate a geographical area, the terms, title amidst plenty, abundance tla, or loya loyan ko site of action, ka, k place. TITLE, TITLE
Copaltitla, Copali (tree tropical aromatic resin used for ritual purposes) - title (in abundance) "between the abundance or copali abounding" is a geographically descriptive name. TLAN, TLA Cochotla, Koch (a kind of parrot) - tla (abundance) "kochomej abundance) in several changes to accommodate names phonetically as tthe change by Peyula, Coyula, is a name with geographical description, that the abundance may be near or flock is held frequent the place.
LOYAN, LOYA Chilcualoyan, chili (chile) - four (tree, eat) - loyan (place of action) may refer to kuauitl kua - plant, tree or if the verb kua - eat. Be revised to clarify the geographic and economic history of the area in question. Circumstance indicates a verb and may be geographical or historical description.
KA, KO, K
In this group there are several names like: Xochitepec, Tecacahuaco, Alpuyeca to describe this last, atl (water) - poyec (salted) - ca (place) "place of salt water" means that the terms and ended with a k sound, are adjectives in the case of poyec, so I gather as a name with geographical description.
These terms have been Castilianized and many names ending in ga or go as Alcomunga, Tenango, Tulancingo.
IPAN, PA
We have Atempa, Chiatipan; a (water) - tentli (Shore) - pa (en) "on the water's edge" is a geographical description.
In the case of historical and mythological interpretation, I did a sketch in Supplement No. 46 on Sunday, January 19, 2003. HYBRID NAMES
are terms integrated with Nahua roots or some other native language with English, we have Hernadeztla, Lemontitla, Reyistla, Limatitla. NAMES
substantivist
As indicated, are names as they can be in native or Castilian league as Cuatecomitl, Atlali, Anali, Loma Bonita, Los Otates, The Paint it, etc, are some up properly for some important person, event should know well about that character, they have to Huejutla Kings, Zacualtipán of Angels, Plato Sánchez. UNDERSTANDING
endings are very important because we located in space and circumstance, here you have to understand the roots and above can be nouns, adjectives or verbs. Tlalpan
is a clear example comes from Tlali (ground) - pan (en), and Tlalchichilpan of Tlali (land) - chichiltik (red) - ipan (en), red say that this term is a noun meaning.
Sometimes there is confusion with the initiates with A, here is enough to identify the vowels or continuous; am always so we amatl Amatepec, Amatlan; aua auatl only difference - oak and auakatl - avocado as auatitla, auayo, auakatitla, auakatla. CASE
CUIRIOSO
usually the places where there were social settlements, geography and the situation changed identity nominal difficult to understand, there are towns or places that have a name that is far from the description due to the fact that sometimes the circumstances that prevented identifies the location close and given the importance that means, we honored the name.
Thus we find no bananas and banana plants, Achiquihuistla and is at the foot of a hill, of course it could be related to a river not too close, ACHIKIUITL atl-water chikiuitl, basket or basket, a kind of cone-shaped basket used for fishing.
In this case, the name changed to the saint as well identified, but the name of Matiotla or Matzojtla, is known and accepted by the people, a good principle identity, few really know the meaning of the name of our people?
