-ITCŌCA necessarily possessed form that which someone carries, that for which someone is responsible / vasallos, gente menuda o súbditos (M for itconi) [(6)Bf.2v,4r,7r,12v,13r,13v]. B does not indicate the presence of the possessive prefix Ī- by vowel length marking, but this is conventionally paired with possessed forms of other deverbal constructions about carrying something or someone, hence governing and being responsible for someone. See (I)TQUI.
