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 (name for a god). === Pronunciation === IPA(key): /aːʃoːloːtɬ/, [aː.ˈʃóː.loːt͡ɬ] === Noun === āxōlōtl (animate, plural āxōlōmeh) an edible larval salamander ==== Descendants ==== → English: axolotl→ Assamese: আচলটল (asolotol)→ Dutch: axolotl→ Esperanto: aksolotlo→ Finnish: aksolotli→ French: axolotl→ Romanian: axolot→ German: Axolotl→ Greek: αξολότλ (axolótl)→ Ido: axoloto→ Irish: acsalatal→ Italian: assolotto→ Macedonian: аксоло́тл (aksolótl)→ Polish: aksolotl→ Russian: аксоло́тль (aksolótlʹ)→ Turkish: aksolotl→ Ukrainian: аксоло́тль (aksolótlʹ)→ Welsh: acsolotl→ Yiddish: אַקסאָלאָטל (aksolotl) → Japanese: アホロートル (ahorōtoru) → Korean: 아홀로틀 (aholloteul) → Spanish: ajolote, ajolota→ Galician: axolote→ Portuguese: axolote === References === Chimalpahin Quauhtlehuanitzin, Domingo Francisco de San Antón Muñón (1997), Arthur J.
