Frances Karttunen: 

YACATZŌL-LI nose / su nariz (T for possessed form) If the second element of this is TZŌL-LI ‘something narrow,’ then the vowel should be long, as it is in X, but it is abundantly attested with the reflex of a short vowel in T and inconsistently attested in Z. See YAC(A)-TL, TZŌL-LI.
