Aya, Gordon,

Always good to hear from you.

The thing is, I don't believe we see (or I believe we don't see :-)
long vowels marked by the Spaniards in this way. If the second part of
Cuitlahua/c is a noun beginning with long /a;/, it would still be
written with just one "a" grapheme.

Al menos, esto es lo que pienso.

nipwaahkaalo,

Michael
