Scope note
Refers to God, divinity, or a deity in Nahua culture. A term generally translated as "god" or "deity" usually referring to members of the Nahua pantheon. Caught in a constant process of movement, these forces or powers are associated with different areas of action, predispositions and shared or exclusive prerogatives. As a prefix, the root of the term, teo-, enters into the composition of a number of words designating substances, plants, birds or instruments whose translation is often complex.
