This article surveys Nahuatl uses of tlamcazqui in the Florentine Codex and Bernardino de Sahagún’s translations, complicating the language of “priest.” While a tlamacazqui was a ritual specialist, Nahuatl-language texts also reveal the term referred to deities and idiomatic expressions for fauna and flora. The article questions how far Western language can express uniquely Nahuatl-language concepts
