[Nahuat-l] colours

[Susana Moraleda]

Would anyone please confirm I have the colours right?



CHICHILTIC - red, from CHILLI

IZTAC - white, from IZTATL             

TLILTIC - black, from TLILLI

COZTIC - yellow

NEXTIC - grey-blue

XOXOCTIC - green

XIUHTIC/TEXOHTIC - blue



CAMILHUILTIC - brown
CAMPOPALPOYAHUAC - purple
CAMOPALTIC - orange
(why do the last three all start with "cam"?)

Would you put the colour after the noun? like in tlalli camilhuiltic ?
There isn't much about colours in Karttunen nor in Sullivan!
I wonder if there are any rules.


What are the terms for pink and lillac?

Thanks a lot!

Susana
