Frances Karttunen:
TLAMAN(I) for things to be a particular way / había buen orden y gobierno (C for imperfect construction with CUALLI ĪC) [(1)Cf.99v]. This is further attested in derived forms such as TLAMANILIĀ ‘to lay things out for someone, to mend something’ (i.e. to restore something to its proper state), and TLAMAN-TLI ‘member of a class of things.’ See MAN(I).
