Frances Karttunen: 

ZOHUAMŌN-TLI daughter-in-law, bride, fiancée / novia (T) [(1)Tp.222]. In the Spanish-to-Nahuatl side, T gives this as a gloss for the Spanish term nuera ‘daughter-in-law.’ In terms pertaining to in-law relationships the vowel of the MŌN element is consistently short in T and consistently long elsewhere. See ZOHUA-TL, MŌN-TLI.
