(a loanword from Spanish)
in titoteouh in titotlahtocatzin camo titechmotelchihuili in titlatlacoanime in tigentilesme = You, our God and Ruler, did not despise us idolaters [or: sinners (eds.)], us gentiles (central Mexico, early seventeenth century)
inyn intlapohual huehuetque tocolhuan catca gentilesme motenehua = This was the count of the ancestors, our grandfathers, called heathens. (central Mexico, early seventeenth century)
Chimalpahin occasionally uses the double-pluralized loan "gentilesme" to speak of ancestors.
The term "gentilestlaca" is found in títulos primordiales associated with towns in the Chalco area and the Valley of Toluca. One suspects a title-producing workshop is responsible for this repeating term, even if the orthography varies somewhat, given that its broader use remains to be documented.
