Attestations from sources in English:

Note how this word starts with the root of mazatl (deer), suggesting an early coinage that refers to a horse (a European re-introduction). Following that is something carried (tlamamalli). The pepech component may have something to do with putting something on top or having something (like the horse) underneath. (SW)
