Tociahuiliz is translated as "nuestra voluntad" (our will) (Rojas, Vidas y Bienes Olvidados vol.3, p.288, CIESAS, 2000).  But in Simeon, under Ciauiliztli, I find the translation ""fatigue", not will.  Under cializtli, however, I find "Will".  In the text below, is tociahuiliz really "our fatigue", instead of "our will"?   Thanks,  Rich

...que nadie la vaya a desbaratar, sea castellano, sea sacerdote o uno del pueblo,  ya que es por nuestra voluntad y no es por enemistad que venimos a criar cuantas ovejas...

let nobody destroy (my testament), whether they be Spaniards, or priest, or someone from the town, because it's of our will and not of enmity that we came to breed sheep...
