Stevens, Esq., and Other Travellers. date: None words: 13857 flesch: 50 summary: The Senor confesses that these circumstances inspired him with unlimited confidence in that traveller's statements upon other subjects; and when Mr. Huertis read to him the further account of the information given to Mr. Stevens by the jolly and merry, but intelligent old Padre of Quiche, respecting other ruined cities beyond the Sierra Madre, and especially of the living city of independent Candones, or unchristianized Indians, supposed to have been seen from the lofty summit of that mountain range, and was told by Messrs. Huertis and Hammond that the exploration of this city was the chief object of their perilous expedition, the Senor adds, that his enthusiasm became enkindled to at least as high a fervor as theirs, and that, with more precipitancy than prudence, in a man of his maturer years and important business pursuits, he resolved to unite in the enterprise, to aid the heroic young men with his experience in travel and knowledge of the wild Indians of the region referred to, and to see the end of the adventure, result as it may. But the most stimulating story of all, was the existence of a _living_ city, far on the other side of the great sierra, large and populous, occupied by Indians of the same character, and in precisely the same state, as those of the country in general, before the discovery of the continent and the desolating conquests of its invaders. keywords: city; country; course; days; expedition; hammond; horses; huertis; indians; men; mules; padre; party; plain; return; senor; sierra; time; velasquez cache: 29388.txt plain text: 29388.txt item: #2 of 4 id: 40559 author: None title: The Güegüence; A Comedy Ballet in the Nahuatl-Spanish Dialect of Nicaragua date: None words: 30698 flesch: 84 summary: Father Francisco Vasquez explained it as a compound of the Nahuatl _nican_, here, and _anahuacos_, here dwell those from Anahuac;[3] or it may be from _nican_ and _nahua_ (plural form of _nahuatl_), here dwell those speaking the Nahuatl tongue; or, as a personal name of a chief, it may be _ni calaquiya_, I entered into, or took possession. and in translating these names, the one as the upper people, _i. e._, the dwellers on the lofty interior plateau, and our elder brothers, _i. e._, the senior and ranking clans of their tribe, who remained in Anahuac.[6] Besides these traditions, the Nicaraguans showed their close relationship to the Aztecs by a substantial identity of language, mythology, religious rites, calendars, manners and customs. keywords: alg^l; alguacil; ambrosio; amigo; boys; cabildo; cap^n; captain; chief; con; court; dances; del; dio; don; don forcico; forcico; form; friend; gob^{or; gobernador; god; governor; governor tastuanes; güegüence; las; little; los; m^{or; malinche; mangue; matateco; men; mexico; muchacho; mudanzas; music; nah; nahuatl; native; nicaragua; oro; page; papa; para; pues; que; real; royal; sidenote; son; sones; sor; spanish; suspend; tastuanes; tatita; tin; words cache: 40559.txt plain text: 40559.txt item: #3 of 4 id: 42808 author: Bancroft, Hubert Howe title: The Native Races [of the Pacific states], Volume 2, Civilized Nations The Works of Hubert Howe Bancroft, Volume 2 date: None words: 315684 flesch: 75 summary: Compónese aquella palabra de _huaxin_, perdiendo _in_ por contraccion, muy usada en mexicano al componerse las palabras, y de _tlan_, partícula que significa donde hay, ó abunda algo, y que sirve para formar colectivos.
