How at Bakkum,at the Dutch coast, a Nahuatl-word resounded...


















3  girls, about age 12, with a dip- net near a pool in the dunes, catching amphibian lifeforms.

One of them shouts at her father:
"Hey Dad! Look here a... whatyoucallitagain..  axolotl or something.!!"
She points at the baby watersalamander in the bucket.

The axolotl is a kind of salamander that lives in Mexico and the US.

Being mature, it still looks like a baby-salamander....(so it doesn't undergo the normal salamander-metamorphosis, but then again : apparently normal isn't so normal)

from:  atl (-water)   and   xolotl (-servant),  servant of the water..
