the cypress tree (see Molina)
"The Mexicans gave the name tlatzcan, or 'fragile and glassy wood,' to the tree that the ancients, Pliny among them, called the cypress...with the boughs extended sideways and almost inclining downward, from which its name comes." (Central Mexico, 1571–1615)
This is an example of a suffixless noun (no -tl, -tli, or -in ending).
Melton-Villanueva discusses the prevalence in Nahuatl testaments of the altepetl of San Bartolomé Tlatelolco, in the valley of Toluca, where people requested burial near the copal trees. Other "burial trees" were the cypress (tlatzcan), the date palm (icçotl, iczotl), and the pirul.
