Principal English Translation: 

mane (See Karttunen)

IPAspelling: 
ketʃtsontɬi
Frances Karttunen: 

QUECHTZON-TLI mane / crin (de caballo) (Z) [(2)Zp.35,160], Z is inconsistent. In one attestation both stem vowels are long, in the other only the second. The latter form is consistent with other sources since Z regularly has a long vowel corresponding to /207/ the short one in TZON-TLI elsewhere. See QUECH-TLI, TZON-TLI.
