Frances Karttunen:
NOHNŌTZ(A) vt to speak with someone, to have a conversation / parlo con él (C for first pers. sg. subject), habla con otro ... consultar ... advertir (R) This is abundantly attested across sources. It is difficult to distinguish in sense from NŌNŌTZA), although the latter seems to have the sense of 'to advise, instruct' not shared by NOHNŌTZ(A). Since M does not distinguish between the two, the glosses are probably mixed. M's gloss for nonotza with the directional prefix ON- 'to go to chat with others' is undoubtedly this one; M's other glosses appear here under NŌNŌTZA). redup. NŌTZ(A).
