Frances Karttunen: 

OMI-TL bone, awl / hueso, alesna, o punzón (M) The vowels are both consistently short except in Z where the first vowel is long in three attestations of six and the second vowel is given long twice. This contrasts with -OHMI-TL 'pelt, down.'

Attestations from sources in English: 

A document from Mexico City from the year 1600 that uses both matl and maitl for a measurement, speaking of chinampas, provides a window onto omitl: "matlactli oce mait ypan cemomitl." A translation from 1697 uses braza to translate matl/maitl, and explains that the omitl was 1/3 of a matl/maitl.
James Lockhart collection, notes in the file "Land and Economy." For this example he cites AGN (Mexico) Tierras, vol. 165, exp. 6, ff. 14v., 15r.

omitl = a fraction of a matl, and it is translated as "codo," possibly making the measure from the elbow to the wrist (San Hipólito Teocaltitlan, Mexico City, 1592)
James Lockhart collection, notes in the file "Land and Economy." For this example he cites AGN Hospital de Jesús 298, no. 4, f. 3v, 12v.

"mitl" (short for omitl?) appears in a document and appears to be a fraction of a matl, translated twice as "media braza" (San Hipólito Teocaltitlan, Mexico City, 1593)
