[edit] Etymology

According to my sources (Miller and Taube) tamoanchan has a Mayan (Wastek) language etymology, not Nahuatl. Anybody have the reference claiming a Nahuatl origin?--cjllw | TALK 11:09, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

The etymology given is definitely a folk etymology. We'll go with Miller and Taube on this one.Maunus 11:40, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

Thanks Maunus, I will update it accordingly.--cjllw | TALK 23:24, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
