Attestations from sources in English:
Gordon Whittaker says that terms relating to elli that start with tel- are references to being brave.
In the Matrícula de Huexotzinco there is a glyph of the personal name Teel ("Brave") that shows a set of lips (the phonetic te- or ten- from tentli) and a heart, seeming there for the semantic reading of bravery but also internal organs, one of the definitions of elli. (SW)
