1 A difrasismo that means, literally, “the dry, the wet.”

2 In this case, the line means, effectively “my heart will be opened.”

3 This line uses a metonymic reference for the son’s wife, for whom the spindle and the weaving tablet are the two principal instruments of her work as a woman. Just as the mother advises her daughter to help her husband follow the path (ohtli), here one witnesses the reciprocal obligation for the son.

4 Meaning, “teach her the edifying doctrines in a way that she habituates and binds them.”
