altepetl : ウィキペディア英語版
altepetl

The altepetl (), in Pre-Columbian and Spanish conquest-era Aztec society, was the local, ethnically based political entity. It is usually translated into English as "city-state".〔Smith 1997 p. 37〕 The word is a combination of the Nahuatl words ''ā-tl'', meaning ''water,'' and ''tepē-tl'', meaning ''mountain.''
Nahuatl scholars Lisa Sousa, Stafford Poole, and James Lockhart have stated:

A characteristic Nahua mode was to imagine the totality of the people of a region or of the world as a collection of altepetl units and to speak of them on those terms.〔Sousa ''et al.'' 1998, p. 36〕

They prefer the Nahuatl term over any English-language approximation. They argue that in many of the documents pertaining to the Virgin of Guadalupe, the word ''āltepētl'' is often used as a translation of the Spanish ''Ciudad de México'' (Mexico City), a translation that has colored the interpretation of the texts and conceptions of Nahua society.
The concept is comparable to Maya ''cah'' and Mixtec ''ñuu''.
