xoxotl.
Principal English Translation: 

dark green trees or forest
George Miksch, At a Bend in a Mexican River (1972), 5, 22, 43.

Attestations from sources in English: 

There is a glyph glossed "Xoxotl" (a personal name of a man) in the Matrícula de Huexotzinco that shows a horizontal row of two four-petaled flowers. The flowers may play a phonetic role (a repeating xo-, the start to xochitl) or perhaps a semantic role, and xoxotl could refer to a garden? (SW)
