Trecena, veintena and the Nahuatl term for month

[John F. Schwaller]

The time frame is accurate, I'd say.  I did a quick search in JSTOR.  The
first citation for veintena comes in 1908 when it is cited in a review of
Robelo, Diccionario de mejicanismos.

The first use of trecena in scholarly articles occurred in 1900 in a piece
by Bowditch in the American Anthropologist, on "The Lords of the Night."
