Proper name [Classical Nahuatl]

IPA: [meːˈʃiʔ.ko] Audio: Nah-Mexihco.ogg Forms: Mēxihco [canonical]
Etymology: Uncertain; popularly thought to derive from a compound of mētztli (“moon”) + xīctli (“navel”) + -co (locative suffix), which would yield *Mēxxīcco (literally “place on the moon’s navel”). The form Mēxihco would thus imply the degemination of [ʃː] and the dissimilation of [kk] to [ʔk], with the appearance of the glottal stop automatically triggering the shortening of the preceding [iː] to [i].
