Trecena
From Tlaahcicacaquiliztli
This is in reference to a 13 day period. The trecena is the reference point at which we find day signs within the tonalpohualli. It serves the same purpose in the tonalpohualli as the Cempohualilhuitl does in the Xiuhpohualli. The tonalli is often referred to as a house belonging to the trecena in the Florentine Codex.
