tlactlacotl

[Michael McCafferty]

John,

It can't be "their sin(s)" if that -tl is on the end of Jesse's term. 
The -tl would dismiss a possessed noun interpretation.

Looks like "inin tlahtlacotl  "this ...."

You can see how the scribe is lashing in's and ic's on to the front end 
of things, as we see "inictlamiztzonquizaz".

tlahtlacolli is usually 'sin'.
