Tláloc was also associated with the world of the dead and with the earth. His name is thought to be derived from the [[Nahuatl]] word ''tlālli'' "earth", and its meaning has been interpreted as "path beneath the earth," "long cave," "he who is made of earth",<ref>Lòpez Austin (1997) p. 214</ref> as well as "he who is the embodiment of the earth".<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Arnold |first1=Philip |title=Paper Ties to Land: Indigenous and Colonial Material Orientations to the Valley of Mexico |journal=History of Religions |date=1995 |volume=35 |issue=1 |page=31 |doi=10.1086/463406 |jstor=1063009 |s2cid=161512366 |url=https://www.jstor.org/stable/1063009}}</ref> [[J.
