Frances Karttunen: 

CHIHCŌLOĀ vrefl,vt twist, to move in a serpentine manner; to twist something / entortar algo (M), culebra (Z), se encorva (Z) This is abundantly attested but only in Z. In the direct attestations of the verb and in the derivation CHIHCŌLTIC there is inconsistency, but overall this pattern holds, contrasting with CHICO ‘to the side’ and incorporating CŌL ‘turn, curve.’ CHIHCŌLTIĀ caus. CHIHCŌLOĀ
