Frances Karttunen: 

NEPANTLAHTITOC late in the morning, near to noon / atardece la mañana (Z) [(2)Zp. 16,177]. This appears with YA 'already' postposed and cliticized to the end, with a spelling change that makes the construction opaque. The analysis is supported by Z's paired phrase TEŌTLACTOC YA 'late in the afternoon,' which is not written solid (p.16). See NEPANTLAH, the verb O.
