Frances Karttunen: 

TLAHTOHQUI possessed form: -TLAHTOHCĀUH ruler/ señores, caciques, o principales (M for plural) This is abundantly attested but, with the exception of R and Z, not in the free-standing singular form, where TLAHTOĀNI is used instead. This item appears in the plural form TLAHTOHQUEH, the possessed singular form –TLAHTOHCĀUH, and its compounding forms TLAHTOHCĀ- and shortened –TLAHTOH. TLAHTOHQUI contrasts with TLATŌCQUI ‘sower.’ See TLAHTOĀ.
