This variant is cited by Jonathan Amith, observed in Ameyaltepec, Guerrero. He wrote: "This is derived from the root a:, water, and the verb yoma, which is the motion made by a woman as she is grinding nixtamal on a metate, sort of a concave swooping motion. The same motion is used to describe that of a man engaging in missionary position sex and is used in a riddle of doble sentido."
