double auxiliary verb

[idiez at MAC.COM]

Here's something I had never seen before: a double auxiliary verb. It's 
from Veracruz.
"quimontontinentoqueh tlalli", "they have gone around piling up dirt"
You start with the Spanish "[a]montonar", "to pile things up",  and add 
the specific object prefix "-qui", and then the auxiliary verb "nemi" 
with the ligature, "-ti". This gives you, "they go around piling up 
dirt ("tlalli"). Then you put that whole thing in its combining form by 
chopping off the last vowel of nemi: "quimontontinen-", and add the 
second auxiliary verb "oc" (a preterite as present tense verb) with 
another ligature "-t[i]", meaning to have done something. It is 
conjugated in the third person plural.

I also want to say that our website has been down for about two weeks 
now, and nobody can figure out how to get it back up. An alternate 
address in the meantime is http://homepage.mac.com/idiez/idiezweb
