Attestations from sources in English:
“According to Sahagún (1963, p. 255), ‘Its name comes from teuhtli/dust and tlalli/earth. This is the top soil and the upland; that is, dry land.’ It has been suggested elsewhere that teuhtlalli might be equated with a loesslike soil of silky texture (Williams, in press, b).” (p 56)
