ENahuatl, "i-hummingbird engakwesokunxele" noma "i-hummingbird yaseningizimu." UnguNkulunkulu wempi futhi ungumhlahlandlela omkhulu wamaMexico noma ama-Aztec kusukela ekuqaleni kohambo lwabo lokuya endaweni emisiwe eTenochtitlan.
Inezici ezimbili: njengo "Hummingbird waseningizimu" ingenye yamaqhawe abulawa enkundleni yempi, aguqulwa aba ama-hummingbirds, aya epharadesi leLanga empumalanga ngaleyo ndlela aphuze uju - igazi - lezimbali eziyigugu izinhliziyo zabantu ezitholwe empini yaseFlorida; nalokho kokuzidela okuvela olimini nasezindlebeni ezihlatshwe ngameva amakhulu. Igama elithi opochtli, ekugcineni kwegama lakhe, lalisetshenziselwa ukubhekisa ku-alter ego, "omunye uqobo", okwakuthi ezinganekwaneni zaseMexico kube yilokho abakubiza ngokuthi yi-nahual. Kulokhu i-hummingbird yayiyi-nahual kankulunkulu wempi.
Esinye isici salo nkulunkulu yileso seQhawe laseCelestial, elalimelwe ukhozi ku-hieroglyph yaseMexico-Tenochtitlán nasejazini lesizwe, uyindodana yeNyanga (Coatlicue) kanye neLanga elincane, indodana yeLanga elidala elazalelwa IMpumalanga ibulala izinkanyezi ezingama-400 ngemicibisholo yayo engama-400 ukwenza usuku olusha lunqobe.
Indaba yokuzalwa kwakhe inelukuluku: UCoatlicue, umama wakhe, wathola ibhola lezimpaphe ngenkathi eshanela awabeka esifubeni sakhe, okwaholela ekutheni akhulelwe. UCoyolxauqui owayethukuthele (nayo indodakazi kaCoatlicue futhi engunkulunkulukazi weNyanga) wakwazi ukukholisa abafowabo ukuthi umama wabo kumele abulawe, kodwa ngaphakathi esibelethweni sakhe, uHuitzilopochtli wakhuluma nonina ukuze angesabi ukuthi yena, indodana yakhe, Bengizomvikela.
NgeCoyolxauqui ngaphambili, abazalwane abangama-400 badlulela kunina, kepha lapho befika unkulunkulu owayehlome ngokuphelele wazalwa: ngenduku nensimbi eluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka, ubuso bakhe bupendwe, uphaphe olunamathele ekhanda lakhe nenyoka eyenziwe ngamabhulashi omlilo lowo owalimaza uCoatlicue emshiya engenakhanda futhi, ekugcineni ngemuva kwalokho, wanqoba bonke abafowabo.
UFray Bernardino de Sahagún ubheka ukuthi igama likankulunkulu lalingenangqondo futhi yingakho iMexico yamenza unkulunkulu futhi yamnikela ngemihlatshelo yabantu.
Ukukhulekelwa kukankulunkulu bekwenziwa ethempelini elikhulu, okwakwakhiwa amawele lapho kwakukhonzelwa khona noTlaloc, unkulunkulu weMvula.
AbaseMexico babezinikele kakhulu kuye futhi begubha amaphathi amahle ngokumhlonipha ezinyangeni uTlaxochimaco noPanquetzalixtli.
