Angl. , the costly cape of precious feathers.

" teôquêmitl, tlazohtlanqui, mochi tlazohihhuitl inic tlachiuhtli (...) inic tlatênchîlnahuayôtilli ", le teoquemitl, précieux, fait entièrement de plumes précieuses, garni d'une bordure de cercles rouges - das teoquemitl, das kostbare, das aus lauter kostbaren Federn gefertigt ist (...) und mit einem Rand aus (solchen Federn) versehen ist. Sah 1927,101.

" quinquehquêntiah in teôquêmitl ", ils les habillent chacun de la parure divine - they clothed each one in godly garments. Sah12,81.

Note: SGA II 431 defines it as a costly robe made entirely of precious feathers, worn over the xicolli (jacket) and the tzitzicaztilmahtli (cape worn over the jacket): probably it was an

apron-like garment placed on the front of the idols. Anders.Dib.I 3.
