Frances Karttunen: 

TLAHMACHYOH something embroidered / manta labrada o lienzo con labores (M), bordado (Z) [(2)Zp.20,208]. Z spells the Y as I, which may represent an intrusive vowel yielding the sequence IY, or it may be some sort of hypercorrection. M spells this tlamacho, implying assimilation of the CHY sequence to CHCH and then degemination to CH. See TLAHMACH-TLI, -YOH.
