One of the stumbling blocks in penetrating another language and that people's way of thinking is "idioms" or "modismos".Of
course, language learners, language teachers, and linguists do not always agree on just what constitutes an idiom at all -- and
the learners and teachers have different points of view on whether a given "idiom" is a mountain or a molehill.Items like 'tener
hambre' (to be hungry) involve only a simple shift of point of view in whether the sensation referred to is a noun or an adjectival
state.Items like 'dar a luz' (to give birth) give your cognitive category system a bit more of a workout.
The Nahuatl phrase 'tlahtolli itlacual' (literally "word [or speech] is his food") is one that, unless you have accidentally tripped over
it before, either with the help of a native speaker, a good dictionary, or a well translated text, you might find puzzling.It means "he
is irascible, quick-tempered".
A special class of Nahuatl idioms are the "bread-and-butter" metaphors.Recall '(in) atl (in) tepetl' for "town" and 'ixtli nacaztli' for
"mediator".
The following list is the "as-is" index for phrases I have glossed so far in the Florentine Codex.It is not extensive partly because I
have concentrated on the single building units before the pre-fab ones.Any additions are welcome.
Joe Campbell
Nocnihuan,
I don't want to wear you out (or your e-mailboxes), but I thought someone might be interested in an update on this vocabulary.I
have divided it into three parts to cut down on the size problem for those with space limitations.It might be difficult to handle
breaking it into 87 parts, but if you let me know what your ceiling is, oc achi niccotonaz.
The three word level indexes from the FC are:
1.vocab by morpheme;
2a. Nahuatl-English vocab;
2b. English-Nahuatl vocab.
2a and 2b come out of the same program and items are included regardless of whether they have been dealt with yet
morphologically.1 items are indexed only if they have analyzed morphologically (obviously) *and* have English
glosses.Incidentally, to put a nasty rumor to rest, the computer, although it is a great little ol' helper with regard to tagging,
reformatting, and sorting, is ***not*** doing the morphological analysis.
xipapaquican,
Joe
