I'm a relative novice, so please humor me.  Other than the misplaced
syllable emphasis, what's wrong with that rendering?  Using informal
phonetics, I'd render Tezcatlipoca as something like
"tez-kah-tli-PO-cah", with a secondary stress on the first syllable.
My 'z' would be as in English.  How wide of the mark am I?
