Carlos,
   'Tocaitl' es un sustantivo bien arraigado en el le'xico nahuatl.  El
suffix '-yo(tl)' indica que su sustantivo es inajenable.  Por ejemplo, si
llevo un paquete de hamburguesa, digo 'nonac' (de 'nacatl'), pero si hablo
de la carne de mi cuerpo, digo 'nonacayo' (de 'nacayotl').  Aqui' tienes
una lista de las ocurrencias del morfema 'to:ca:itl' en el Co'dice
Florentino.  Se nota que 'tocaitl' se combina con varios prefijos
posesivos, evidencia de que 'to-' es parte de la rai'z.

Saludos

Joe
