Principal English Translation:
Mexican Violetear (?), a bird (see Hunn, attestations)
Attestations from sources in English:
CHALCHI-HUĪTZIL-IN, literally, “jade hummingbird,” perhaps the Mexican Violetear (Colibri mexicanus) [FC: 24 Chalchihujtzili] “… is light green; a turquoise shade; herb-green." Martin del Campo identified this as the Broad-billed Hummingbird (Cynanthus latirostris), a quite reasonable option; however, I believe that species is more likely named XI-HUĪTZITZIL-IN. See HUĪTZIL-IN hummingbird.
