Frances Karttunen: 

CHĪCHICUACEM every six, by sixes / de seis en seis, o cada uno seis (M) [(1)Cf.107r]. This is in a compound. There is a macron over the vowel of the last syllable, but this is an error, because C has the nonreduplicated form immediately above without a macron. The final M delabializes to N before nonlabial consonants and in word-final position. See CHICUACĒ.
