The entry on Alaska (Alazca) is longer than the entry for corn (cintli).

Under cuīcāmoxtli we find an illustration for a song-sheet (cuicamatl) of the evidently popular Mexica anthem Dixie.

Bizarre.

Actually, Nahuatl also has postpositions, and may actually not have prepositions (I don't know). Not to pick apart the humor, but linguists can't help it :P

And you can end English sentences with prepositions, despite what your fourth grade teacher told you.
