    • With some exceptions, Tenochca and Acolhua property plans share similar numerical symbols, but with differing values. The cemmatl, one hand, is the Tenochca standard linear measure and equals two Spanish varas 0.83 m x 2 ∼ 1.67 m, Thus, it is shorter than the Acolhua three-vara land rod. Unlike the land rod, the Tenochca cemmatl is typically glyphed by a hand symbol

    • In ethnohistorical sources, considerable confusion surrounds the definitions and lengths of lower arm measures (codos in Spanish, cubits in English, in Nahuatl specifically the cenmolicpitl, cenmatzotzopaztli, cemomitl), all of which vary only by a few centimeters.
