Huallauh (MH617r)

Descending footprints convey come, and rising footsteps convey go. Perhaps this name, originally referring to a baby, had the sense of "He Has Been Born," or "Delivered," "Brought To Us." James Lockhart includes "to be brought" as part of his translation of huallauh. Granted, the spelling "huallauh," is a far cry from "Huala," which is what the gloss presents, but the footprints would support the analysis, given that huallauh also means "to come."

Footprint glyphs have a wide range of translations. In this collection, so far, we can attest to yauh, xo, pano, -pan, paina, temo, nemi, quetza, otli, iyaquic hualiloti, huallauh, tetepotztoca, totoco, -tihui, and the vowel "o." Other research (Herrera et al, 2005, 64) points to additional terms, including: choloa, tlaloa, totoyoa, eco, aci, quiza, maxalihui, centlacxitl, and xocpalli.
