Etymology 1

   calli (“house”) → nocal (“my house”)

   -tlōc (“beside”) → notlōc (“beside me”)

Etymology 2

1. (personal prefix, reflexive) Used to form the first-person singular reflexive of transitive verbs: myself. For certain verbs, this imparts an intransitive sense rather than a strictly reflexive one.

   titītza (“to stretch something”) → ninotitītza (“I stretch (myself)”)

   itta (“to seesomething”) → ninotta (“I see myself, I look at myself”)

   tolīnia (“to bother someone, to make suffer”) → ninotolīnia (“I suffer, I am bothered”)

Usage notes

As with the other reflexive prefixes and tla-, this prefixes causes deletion of initial i in verbs such as itta or ilpia, with the exception of verbs beginning with ih- such as ihquiti.
