Horacio Carochi / English: 

oquichtli = man, male
Horacio Carochi, S.J., Grammar of the Mexican language with an explanation of its adverbs (1645), translated and edited with commentary by James Lockhart, UCLA Latin American Studies Volume 89 (Stanford: Stanford University Press, UCLA Latin American Center Publications, 2001), 508, and see 44-45, 236-37, 316-17, and 302-03.

Lockhart’s Nahuatl as Written: 

used in compounds to indicate the male of anything. in verbal compounds it often refers to valor, etc. possessed form
-oquichhui. men referring to groups of men or men in general often say toquichtin, "we men," without the speaker meaning to include himself in the reference. 228
