Frances Karttunen: 

NENĀMICTĪLŌYOH marriage / matrimonio, casamiento (T) [(1)Tp.167). It seems that this should be derived with -YŌ or -YĀN rather than -YOH, but T's form has no absolutive suffix as -YŌ would and has the reflex of O rather than Ā. T would not retain final H or N in any case. M has nenamictiliztli 'marriage, wedlock' and also nenamictiloni 'something pertaining to marriage.' See NĀMICTIĀ.
