Frances Karttunen: 

CĒXIUHTIĀ to be at a place for a year, to pass a year somewhere / estar o tardar un año en algún lugar (M) [(1)Tp.222]. C has cēcexiuhtica in a section of derivations with CĒCEM. The mx sequence assimilates to XX and is printed in C as a single x. The item here appears to be derived not from CEM but from CĒ, hence the long vowel and the genuinely short X . See CĒ, XIHU(I)-TL.
