CHĪLATLĀHUIC a type of mild chili pepper / chile pasilla (T) [(1)Tp.125]. Because of the characteristic reduction in T, the intervocalic L may represent a geminate. Possibly the second element is related to TLĀHUIĀ and has to do with redness. See CHĪL-LI. Frances Karttunen, An Analytical Dictionary of Nahuatl (Norman: University of Oklahoma Press, 1992), 51.
