"Acalli. Significa canoa, y como tal era considerada unidad de medida para áridos y para agua. Su capacidad no ha sido determinada aún, sólo su valor en mantas o cacao. Posiblemente derivadas de esta medida prehispánica, o como simple traducción náhuatl, aparecen en documentos novohispanos la cencuauhacalli, que hacen equivalente a media fanega, o 27.26 litros, y el cuauhacaltontli, un celemín, o 4.54 litros."
