Lexicon
Every word as the sources give it, unedited: their glosses, notes, examples and forms, and the town each was recorded in.
Built on Alan King's NAWACOLEX, with the sources nahuat.com has added. As each source gives it, with reading errors from the scans corrected.
This is not the dictionary. The dictionary is what nahuat.com writes from these sources. Here are the sources themselves, with their mistakes and their differences, to read and compare.
