Frances Karttunen: 

IZTĀCĀYŌ-TL the white of an egg / clara (de huevo) (T) [(1)Zp. 171]. Z fails to mark A long, and T has a short vowel and postvocalic glottal stop in the third syllable. M has iztacayotl ‘ whiteness,’ which is probable derived simple from IZTĀCĀ- (the compounding form of ĪZTĀC) and –YŌ. See IZTĀC, ĀYŌ-TL
