MAHUIZZŌTIĀ vt to render honor and glory to someone / dar honra y Gloria a otro (C) [(1)Bf.2V,(2)Cf.54V,119r]. The B attestation and one of the C attestations are in applicative form derived from this. Although M spells this with a single consonant between the second and third syllables, B and C have a gaminate, and C also spells it with the unassimilated ZY sequence. See MAHUIZZŌ-TL.
