tlamatini
''Tlamatini'' (plural ''tlamatinime'') is a Nahuatl language word meaning "someone who knows something", generally translated as "wise man". The word is analyzable as derived from the transitive verb ''mati'' "to know" with the prefix ''tla-'' indicating an unspecified inanimate object translatable by "something" and the derivational suffix ''-ni'' meaning "a person who are characterized by ...": hence tla-mati-ni "a person who is characterized by knowing something" or more to the point "a knower".
The famous Nahuatl language translator and interpreter Miguel León-Portilla refers to the ''tlamatini'' as philosophers and they are the subject of his book ''Aztec Thought and Culture''.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Use of "Tlamatini" in ''Aztec Thought and Culture: A Study of the Ancient Nahuatl Mind - Miguel León Portilla'' )〕
