Frances Karttunen: 

TĒMĀQUĪXTIHQUI saviour, deliverer / salvador (Z) This is abundantly attested, but only in Z does it appear without the honorific element -TZIN. Elsewhere it has the invariant form TOTĒMĀQUĪXTIHCĀTZIN 'our Savior (honorific)' and with Christian reference. TĒMĀQUĪXTIĀNI is usually used in place of this as a free form. See MĀQUĪXTIĀ.
