In the long discussion of different types of tomatoes in the writings of Dr. Francisco Hernández, we see the -me plural ending used, something originally reserved for animates. See for example, xitomame (which is "tomame with the shape of a rough squash"); miltomame (the planting type); coatomame ("snake tomatoes"). (central Mexico, 1571–1615)
