To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It may be said that some of the latter pronounce the title Mo. One of our philologists speaks of "Montezuma, or more correctly, Motecuhzoma. " (note 82. ) Another authority says: "Montezuma, or more correctly, Moctezuma. " (note 83. ) In his account of the Casa Grande, the old time Spanish traveler, Padre Garces, says: On this river is situated the house which they call Moctezuma's (note 84. ) It is evident that the two pronunciations Mo and Mok are preferred to Mon (tezuma) and that Mu has als...o its advocates. Curiously enought, these three sounds Mu, Mo, and Mok, are likewise applied to the one character by the Chinese literati. The identical symbol which Williams calls Mu is in another dictionary (see Bailley's, iii, p. 246) termed Mo. Morrison (vol. IV, p. 600-1 ) says that the two sounds Mu and Mo are both applied, and that in Canton this selfsame character is called Mok. It thus appears that the builder or ruler of the fortresses in the region beyond the Eastern Sea, might be called Mu, Mo, or Mok.
