[mu]chos resbaladeros y caídas en este mundo." Es lo mismo que arriba se ya dicho, que apenas hay quien se pueda escapar de cayer en algún pecado.
\nEste refrán se dice del que comienza a deprender algún oficio o ciencia, y luego le dexa y pasa a otro, y con ninguno sale. Par esto dicen dél: ayamo cuatlatlatztza, coma si dixese "en nada asienta".
\nDícese este refrán de los que están en necesidad, o los mesmos lo dicen de sí mismos, porque no hay nadie que entonce los favorezca. Y ansí dicen: áyac matlacpa teca. Quiere decir: "Todos me han desamparado."
