TZONTECOMPANOĀ vt to carry something on one’s head / lo lleva en la cabeza (T) [(3)Tp.214] T has lost the final M of the first element. The expected form of the second element would be PANŌLTĪA from the verb PANŌ, which T has elsewhere. See TZONTECOM(A)-TL, PANŌ.

TZONTECOMPANŌLŌ nonact. TZONTECOMPANOĀ.
