Teyolia
Heart-soul · enduring personhood
Teyolia is the heart-soul in López Austin's reconstruction of Nahua personhood, distinct from the day-sign's tonalli. It is shown as a companion point to the calendar field, not as one of the twenty signs and not as a third force replacing the day-sign zones.

Bernardino de Sahagún, Florentine Codex (primary_canonical)
Book X's Nahuatl and Spanish descriptions of heart, character, and skilled persons provide primary evidence for heart-centred personhood language; the rendered point follows the modern three-force synthesis.
Alfredo López Austin, The Human Body and Ideology (scholarly_modern)
Chapter 6 gives the standard modern reconstruction of teyolia as the heart-soul; this point retains that locus while placing it in a calendar-focused file.
