"Tocatli" now just means "palace" (the fact that it's the emperor's is implied). I guess this means no other person of nobility in the Sun Empire was granted the right to have a palace of their own, and Tocatli is just "THE palace".
Since the Itzocan word from *Dūk-elan now means "empire" even if it's specifically the person in the other languages, I guess Ixtollanians see their emperor as the living personification of the whole empire, and by extension, one is the other. Kind of a nice parallel to Europe's medieval divine right of the monarchs.
I'm gonna be so mad if Wizards of the Coast contradicts any of these conculture headcannons in the future Ixalan set lmao

For my #Ixalan fanlangs project, I have made all 3 of my conlangs to descend from a single proto-language, for simplicity of management; but ideally (i. e. if I had infinite free time), I would've liked to make Torrezonor to be in its own family, with a French-lookalike sister language. That, or a French-lookalike substrate language.

Proto-Ixalan: Elan ['e.lan] — 3rd person pronoun.
It gives "ala" ['a.la] in Anuleika (the merfolk language), "hiel" ['jel] in Torrezonor (the vampire language) and "elan" ['e.lan] in Itzocan (the human language). It's still the 3rd person pronoun in all of them.
It also gives the productive "nounifier" suffix "-la" (Anuleika), "-(l)an" (Torrezonor & Itzocan).
