Isaias Alejandro Morales Delgado Huitzilin (hummingbird in Nahuatl)
Hummingbird in Nahuatl, is it Huitzilli or Huitzillin? I've seen it spelled differently online, also seen it spelled with single l's instead of double l, which is correct? Also if cloud is Mixtli, would "cloud hummingbird" essentially be Mixhuitzilli? Or Mixhuitzillin? Thanks for any input. 14 7 7 comments Best Add a Comment w_v • 1 yr. ago
