For example, in the Otomi languages (Oto-Pamean branch of Oto-Manguean), there are some based on two elements: one means something like ‘mouth.of.stomach/heart/belly’, the other could perhaps be translatable as ‘liver/gallbladder’. The expressions vary a bit across the languages of this family, but Mezquital Otomi can illustrate a typical case:</div><div><br></div><div>Mezquital Otomi:</div><div><br></div><div>http://www-01.sil.org/mexico/otopame/mezquital/S045b-DicOtomiMezq-ote.pdf</div><div><br></div><div>tü [rá mui]</div><div>be.adhered.to.surface SG.3POSS mouth.of.stomach</div><div>‘be sad’</div><div><br></div><div>hüm-p-a=[rá mui]</div><div>be.on.top.of.surface-3DAT-BOUND=SG.3POSS mouth.of.stomach</div><div><span style="font-size: 12pt;">‘be happy’</span></div><div><br></div><div>tüts-w-a=[rá mui]</div><div>carry.on.onself-3DAT-BOUND=SG.3POSS mouth.of.stomach</div><div>‘be interested/motivated’</div><div><br></div><div>yo [rá mui]</div><div>??
