CHILILITLI, 36. Name of a tower of sacred import. It is apparently a compound of chia or chielia, to watch, and tlilli, blackness, obscurity, hence "a night watch-tower." It was probably used for the study of the sky at night.
CHIMALPOPOCA, 43. "The smoking shield," from chimalli, shield, and popoca. The name of several distinguished warriors and rulers in ancient Mexico.
CHOLULA or CHOLOLLAN, 105. Name of a celebrated ancient state and city. From choloa, with the probable meaning, "place of refuge," "place of the fugitives."

COATZITEUCTLI, 89. A name compound of coatzin, reverential form of coatl, serpent, and teuctli, lord.
COLHUA, A people of Nahuatl affinity, who dwelt in ancient times in the valley of Mexico. See Colhuacan.
COLHUACAN, 88, 89, 91. A town in the valley of Mexico. In spite of the arguments to the contrary, I believe the Colhua were of Nahuatl lineage, and that the name is derived from colli, ancestor; colhuacan, the residence of the ancestors; with this signification, it was applied to many localities. It must be distinguished from Acolhuacan. Its ikonomatic symbol was a hill bent over at the top, from coloa, to bend.
COLZAZTLI, 39. Probably for Coltzatztli, one who cries out or calls to the ancestors (colli, tzatzia). A chief whom I have not found elsewhere mentioned.
CONAHUATZIN, 41. A warrior not elsewhere mentioned. By derivation it means "noble son of the lord of the water" (conetl, ahua, tzin).
