Otomi/Hñähñu (central Mexico). Muye, 'Lord of the Rain' (hmü 'lord' + 'ye 'rain'), is the Otomi god of rain whom the Nahua worshipped as Tlaloc. His name is preserved in early colonial Otomi-language materials connected with the festival calendar of twenty-day months, and inquisitorial records studied by Méndez Gómez show the rain lord still receiving offerings and self-sacrifice from Otomi devotees of the Mezquital and the Sierra town of Tutotepec long after the conquest. He is a weather god of the first rank in the ancient Otomi pantheon, standing beside the old fire god and the lunar Old Mother.
