Some of our more complex, multi-field searches (such as the search field on our homepage and Search All Fields) are currently under repair and may not work as expected.
Thank you to all our users who emailed to alert us to the problem! We hope to have it repaired soon.
Meanwhile, elements of the Advanced Search are working and the Alphabetical Listings are working, too.
the first born
Auh ca iz tica in titeach in tiacapãtli, auh ca iz tõca in titlacoieoa, auh in titlatoqujlia; auh iz tica ompa tica on in tixocoiutl = And here standest thou who art the oldest, the firstborn; and here art thou who art the second; and thou who followest; and thou who standest, who standest there, thou who art the youngest (central Mexico, sixteenth century)
Women's birth order names seem to relate from beliefs about female deities or goddesses linked to Tlazolteotl, who loved luxury and was lustful. The four sisters were Tiacapan (the oldest sister), then Teicu (the second oldest), the third was Tlaco (middle sister), and the youngest was Xoco, or "Xocutzin." Many girls bore these names.
