ameyalli (CQ)

This simplex glyph may actually be a compound glyph for ameyalli iztac ("manantial blanca" in Spanish). In fact it does not have a gloss to identify it as an ameyalli. We are naming it an ameyalli based on an article by Sebastián van Doesburg (see the Bibliography) that identifies it from another manuscript as the manantial blanca and "una fuente de agua dulce" (a fountain of fresh water) on the hill where Quetzalecatzin and Chicome Tochtli (his wife) established their ruling house (tecpancalli), killing then ruler Ehcatl (or Ehecatl) in the year Matlactli Once Acatl (Eleven Reed). The location of this spring was in Tecamachalco.
