[Nahuat-l] Nahua, nahnahua

[John Sullivan, Ph.D.]

Estimado Macehual08,
In Huastecan Nahuatl, "nahua" is a class 4 verb that means "to carry  
s.t. in  your arms" (vs "mama", "to carry s.t. on your back"). The  
reduplicated form, "nahnahua", means "to hug s.o." This is pretty  
close to your example.
