"axolotl" meaning in Classical Nahuatl

See axolotl in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: /aːʃoːloːtɬ/, [aː.ˈʃóː.loːt͡ɬ] Forms: āxōlōtl [canonical], āxōlōmeh [plural]
Etymology: Generally interpreted to be a compound of ātl (“water”) + xōlōtl (“male servant”). Alternatively, the second element may be cognate with Huichol xiurí (“axolotl”). The compounding with ātl (“water”) may have originated as a disambiguation from several unrelated quasi-homonyms, such as xōlōtl (“male servant”) or Xolotl (“Xolotl”, a god). Etymology templates: {{compound|nci|ātl|xōlōtl|gloss1=water|gloss2=male servant}} ātl (“water”) + xōlōtl (“male servant”), {{cog|hch|xiurí||axolotl}} Huichol xiurí (“axolotl”) Head templates: {{head|nci|nouns|animate||plural|āxōlōmeh|||cat2=|f1accel-form=p|f2accel-form=p|head=āxōlōtl}} āxōlōtl (animate, plural āxōlōmeh), {{nci-noun|a|āxōlōtl|pl=āxōlōmeh}} āxōlōtl (animate, plural āxōlōmeh)
