-TLAPALYŌ T has a possessed form that is ambiguous between –TLAPALYOH and –TLAPALYŌ meaning ‘one’s color, tint, hue.’ If it is the latter, then it is identical to the inalienably possessed form of TLAPAL-LI ‘dye, ink’ without assimilation of LY to LL. Otherwise it is a variant form of TLAPALLOH ‘something painted.’ Frances Karttunen, An Analytical Dictionary of Nahuatl (Norman: University of Oklahoma Press, 1992), 289.
