Fabian,

A quick note now until more knowledgeable others respond.  Il-,  I learned
from R. Joe Campbell, represents breath/mental energy, but does not appear as
a separate morpheme or "word."  In addition to ilna:miqui and ilca:hua there
is iltequi which is something like to sip a hot bowl of soup.  How this might
compare to ihiyotl I am ignorant.  Mark
