Sorry but I have to correct mr. schwallers comment about the "xolotl class"
of animals. An owl is *tekolotl* not *Texolotl*. Kolotl means scorpion - or
some have argued it also means generically pointy, stingy, dangerous
animals. A *texolotl* however is the beater of a molcajete. In Hueyapan
nawatl *xolotl* means "glutton" and the etymology given for turkey (probably
a folk etymology) is "big glutton" because turkeys take a lot of feed to
raise.
