Frances Karttunen: 

ĀZOLŌNIĀ vt to blister something / lo ampolla (Z) [(1)Zp.185]. In the single attestation, the vowel length values of the stem are reversed, with the vowel of ZO marked long and those of the adjacent syllables not marked for length. Since this is certainly a derivation from ĀZOLŌNI, the attestation is clearly in error.
