a head-flyer (see attestations); seemingly a reference to what are called today the "voladores de Papantla," the four men who fly head down from the top of a tall pole while a fifth man plays a flute from the very top. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Danza_de_los_Voladores_de_Papantla.
yn Omotepexihuique quapatlanque Opoztec yn cuahuitl niman yexcan Oquisqui = the head-flyers fell to the ground. The pole broke and then separated into three parts. (17th-c, Tlaxcala/Puebla)
Nican ipan xihuitl in omotepèxihuíquê quapatlanquê, opostec in quahuitl miman yexcan = En este año se desbarrancaron los Voladores, por haberse quebrado o roto el palo por tres partes. (Puebla, 1797)
