James Lockhart says that pano became the equivalent of pasar in Spanish, including being used in the phrase "Pase Ud." We will also see "opanoc yey ilhuitl," pasaron tres días, and "opanoc," meaning "¿qué pasó?" So, this is an advanced State 3 calque being used inadvertently. With the addition of hual-, it just means came, but in the sense of coming here, from the perspective of being in Texcalucan.
