<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="" lang="EN-US">Andrews
states: "There exist dialectal variants for the present indicative VNCs
with plural-number subjects built on the stem (ya-hui) instead of (hui)…These
are not, however, considered good usage" (p. 98).<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="" lang="EN-US">Almost all
dialects of Nahuatl use a non-suppletive stem of a shape like yahui in the
present (Una Canger has written on this). Such a stem also appears in colonial
writings. It is “classical” Nahuatl that is exceptional and probably innovative,
while the “modern dialects” may very well turn out to be more conservative.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="" lang="EN-US">I think we
need to be careful in using classical Nahuatl as the baseline for evaluating
good or bad usage or grammar in other varieties of Nahuatl that have only been
documented more recently.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
