cihuatecpanecatl

[Frances Karttunen]

On the other hand,

There is a verb tecpana which, when it takes takes the nonspecific  
object prefix te-, means to put people into order, line them up. A  
synonym is te-tecpantlalia.

Replacing a locative suffix with -eca-tl yields the sense of 'person  
from…'  For example: Tepoztlan is a place; a person from Tepoztlan is  
a Tepoztlanecatl.
