[Aztlan] Meaning of Chicxulub

[Matthias Gorissen]

I always thought it means "tail of the brocket", even though "ne" would be the 
more usual expression for "tail". Xulub means horns or antlers, by extension, 
it is also used as a term for male deer. The nineteenth-century Pio 
Perez-dictionary gives "diablo, demonio" as a secondary meaning, but that was 
probably not originally intended here.

Anyway, the crater is probably named after the well-known village, and I 
wouldn't attach so much significance to that.
