Thanks, Joe, for the "one picture, thousand words".

Yes, Rikke, the tl(a) of your "otla" is not the same tl as in ohtli 'road'.
As Joe explailned, your "o-" is the "road," and it modifies the following
verb, tlatoca, i.e., "o-" tells what kind of following is going on: "roadly-
following".

There's no grammatical or phonological basis for ohtli going to ohtla and then
hooking up with toca.

Best,

Michael
