The Memoirs of the Conquistador Bernal Diaz del Castillo, Vol 1 (of 2)

Note 36 — Chapter LXXXIII

John Ingram Lockhart translation

Torquemada sometimes writes this word Tianquitz, sometimes Tiangues, but we find it also written Tianquiztli. By the terminating syllable most likely some particular market is meant; for it is peculiar to the Mexican language to modify the meaning of words in that manner. (p. 205.)
