etihcihui

I wonder, Joe, if the et- is an allomorph of etl.

As you know, a:tl forms the unexpected allomorph a:tl- as in a:tli, 
a:tlihua, a:tlihualoni, even a:tli:xco, I suppose, although the latter 
is probably originally two separate words, nicht wahr?

If one wanted to combine etl with (i)hcihui, how would one do it?

Ma: ye cue:l yehhua:tl!
