REPLY: Question/Request regarding Nahua mathematics
From: "Campbell, R. Joe" <campbel@indiana.edu> Subject: Re: H-Nahuatl : Question/Request regarding Nahua mathematics Date: Thu, 3 Jan 2019 22:08:56 +0000 When I looked at Chuck Lindsey's word, my first reaction was that it was probably a misprint. That was because reduplications don't repeat anything after the vowel portion of the syllable. It turns out that that generalization stands up -- in spite of the occurrence of "...tzintzin...". Andrews points out (p. 296 [at least]) that "piltzin" is lexicalized and embedded in "-tzin", so "-tzintzin"

Voynich Nahuatl proposal
Dear Nahuatleros
I have taken a good look at the new book Unraveling the Voynich Codex by Janick and Tucker. It argues for a Nahuatl element in the mysterious Voynich Manuscript. The proposal is very weak in my opinion, since the proposed readings of the Voynich letters produce only gibberish if read with the proposed Nahuatl values.
