three doubts

[Mark David Morris]

Susana,

One common strategy that would apply well to the i:ez and i:altepeuh
examples you cite is to fuse the possessive to in, such as inialtepeuh, or
sometimes just nialtepeuh to elmininate the awkwardness of two open
vowels; also a "y" would be likely to be introduced in i:ez -- niyez.
These strategies at least have been common in Tlaxcala although I can't
attest for other regions.
