tamazolin (Mdz43r)

Toads could be startling in some circumstances, such as one finds in our dictionary in the seventeenth-century example from Tlaxcala, when a deceased person was put in a pipe with snakes, toads, a rooster, a cat, and other animals, or when three frightening toads emerged from the mouth of a Nahua woman who was confessing her sins (and then went back in!), as described in the Promptuario manual Mexicano published by Ignacio de Paredes in 1759, 216. There was also a divinity with the name Tamazolin according to Antonio Peñafiel, Nombres geográficos de México (1885), 172, and some people bore the name, such as the son of a lord named Ocelotl (Jaguar), according to the Colección de documentos para la historia de México (1866), 348.
