Transcriber’s Note:

Words and phrases in italics are surrounded by underscores, _like this_. Those in bold are surrounded by tildes, ~like this~. Obvious printing errors, such as inconsistent italics, hyphenation, and brackets were corrected.

The place-names beginning with “Ch” follow those beginning with “Cu,” and two words beginning with “Tl” follow entries beginning with “Tu.” Some definitions within brackets lack the word, “there,” e.g. “Where are level fields of rushes,” instead of “Where there are level fields of rushes.”

Not changed:

Obsolete spelling, e.g. “bambu” for “bamboo.”

Missing letters between place-name and component parts e.g. “Huitzannaola” = “huiz” (missing t ) + “anno” (missing a) + “la.”

Variations in letters from source word to place-name, e.g. “ixtcuin” to “itzcuin” and “Huitzilopuch” to “Huitzilopoch.”

Reversed letters, e.g. “Tlachquiauhco” = “tlach” + “quiahu” (not “quiauh”) + “co.”
