Etymology 1
- (personal prefix, possessive) Used to form the first-person singular possessive of nouns: my. Can combine with relational words to form relational adverbs.

- calli (“house”) → nocal (“my house”)
- -tlōc (“beside”) → notlōc (“beside me”)

Etymology 2
- (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.
