Tlemaco (Azca14)
This black-line drawing of the simplex glyph for the place name Tlemaco shows a frontal view of a fire (tletl) in the doubled spoon of an incense burner (tlemaitl). The handle of the burner is not visible. The fire has seven wavy flames reaching upward and a small coil in the middle. The locative suffix -co (in or on) is implicit.

The gloss explains that the Mexica founded this place. It was a site established during a pause in the migration that would end up founding Mexico-Tenochtitlan. Tlemaco is modern-day San Jerónimo Tlamaco (sometimes also still spelled Tlemaco), in Hidalgo. It has a sixteenth-century church with an open chapel.
