Frances Karttunen: 

ĪXPIL-LI eyelash / su pestaña (Z for possessed form) [(5)Zp.98,163]. Since all the attestations are in possessed form, the absolutive suffix is not directly attested, and Z marks the vowel and the second syllable long. The citation form given here is by analogy with MAHPIL-LI ‘finger.’ See ĪX-TLI, PIL-LI.
