I think that the words you have indicated are not exactly pure Nahuatl
words, but like Galen Brokaw mentioned a sort of pure neologism.
It is clearly visible that the words you have made are composed of different
Nahuatl words.
Several times you have used the word "cuiloa", as a suffix, for the English
"graphy".
"cuiloa" or in fact "ihcuiloa" (acc.Sah), as a transitive verb, means: to
write, to draw or to paint.
>From all the words you have indicated, there is only 1 word usable:
"Nezcayotl" (acc.Sah),
what means: sign, token (Esp.:regalo, propina).
What you really mean by "phoneme", I don't know, or is it phon(e)y (fals,
faken).
"Caqui" (acc.Sah) v.t.: to hear, to listen
"Caquizti": it sounds good.
"Caquiztiliztli": a sound.
"Nenepilco" (acc.Sah): on the "nenepilli", a locative, on the tongue.
(Esp.:lenqua).
"Nenepilcuaitl": at the end of the tongue.
What you mean by "Tlatol", and "cotonqu" I don't know.
