The ancient sacred 'road stick' (ohtlatopilli in long associated with merchants (#pochteca) is STILL used today in communities. A symbol of justice and a straight path in life. See some from Amantlan here https://t.co/2GdHddmvra

I made up a toponymic glyph for the city-state of in

The lower part is taken from conquest glyphs carved in Monte Albán.
"Zaa" means cloud, so I added the cloud glyph, and on top of it a zapote tree, from the nahuatl name for the city: "Teozapotlan"
