Frances Karttunen: 

NACACIC on the side / de lado (M) This is attested in Z’s NACACICAHUĪCA and T’s NACACICATĒCA. In M it appears as an initial element of seven different entries, although it does not appear independently. Since this is not derived from a verb, it is probably a locative construction based on a stem form *NACACI rather than NACAZ. See NACAZ-TLI, -C(O).
