Frances Karttunen: 

CŌTZ-TLI calf of the leg / pantorrilla (M) [(1)Bf.10r,(5)Zp.93,156]. This also appears in three attestations in T with the gloss ‘la piel’ instead of ‘el pie,’ and the gloss is repeated on the Spanish-to-Nahuatl side of T. This is either a mistake or a confusion with CUETLAX-TLI ‘skin, leather.’
Frances Karttunen, An Analytical Dictionary of Nahuatl (Norman: University of Oklahoma Press, 1992), 42.
