a person's name, very common in the sixteenth century in what is now Morelos (attested female); In The Nahuas (1992, 120), James Lockhart translates the name of Magdalena Necahual as the "Abandoned One."
yn izivauh ytoca necaval = His wife is named Necahual (Cuernavaca region, ca. 1540s) Note: more than one person in these censuses has this name. The one on 124–125 seems to be female, as does the one mentioned on 126–127. Magdalena Necahual is definitely a female (128–129). Another Nechual, a wife, is mentioned on 134–135, and another on 142–143, and on 168–169. There are many. One Necahual is the mother of a man named Chalchiuhtepehua and a 10-year-old named Domingo Nequametl; see 172–173.
This may be Nencahual, given that the prefix nen- is a negative, and to be abandoned is a sad situation. See the glyphs for Nenca (MH505r), Nencauh (MH568r), Nenquizqui (MH492v), and Nentequitl (MH492v, MH543r, and MH565r) in the Visual Lexicon of Aztec Hieroglyphs. Also, we have a glyph for cahualli (widow, abandoned woman) in that same collection.
ytoca Ana Maria y nica ytoca necaual = se llama Ana María, acá se le llama Necahual
