Frances Karttunen: 

YECĀHUIĀ vrefl for something to be rinsed out, dried / se enjuaga (se saca jabón) (T) [(1)Tp.163]. Diphthongization of Ē and initial glide-formation leads to an ambiguity in T. The single attestation may have a reflex of a long vowel in the initial syllable.

YECĀHUĪLŌ nonact. YECĀHUIĀ.
