"Aztec Place-Names: Their Meaning and Mode of Composition" by Frederick Starr is an academic publication created in the early 20th century. This book focuses on the methodology of analyzing and understanding Aztec geographical names, providing insights into their compositions and meanings. It serves as a reference for students and scholars interested in linguistics, anthropology, and history, particularly in the context of Mesoamerican cultures. In this work, Starr presents an extensive list of Aztec place-names, each accompanied by its meaning and a breakdown of the components that form the name. Drawing from sources such as Agustin de la Rosa and Antonio PeƱafiel, the book details the linguistic structure behind these names, illustrating how various elements combine to convey specific geographical features or cultural significance. Rules of composition are outlined, guiding readers in analyzing similar names, while a diverse array of examples demonstrates the richness of the Mexican linguistic heritage. Overall, the book serves both as a practical guide and a scholarly resource for those delving into Aztec nomenclature. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
