paradigns yauh, huallauh

[David Wright]

Dear John:

They look pretty good to me. The only changes I would make –following
Andrews (2003: 90-99), Campbell & Karttunen (1989), Carochi (2001: 150-166),
and Lockhart (2001: 64, 65)– would be to mark the long vowels (a:), add the
particle ma: to the second person forms, and include the regional variants
tiyahui, anyahui, and yahui, mentioned by Lockhart in a footnote to Carochi
(2001: 159, n. 6) and discussed by Canger (2011: 248), who explains that
tihuih, anhuih, and huih are reduced forms used by the inhabitants of
Tenochtitlan and Tlatelolco.

The paradigms thus modified would look like this:

YAUH
	Present
		niyauh, tiyauh, yauh, tihuih (tiyahui), anhuih (anyahuih),
huih (yahui)
	Optative
		ma: niyauh, ma: xiyauh, ma: yauh, ma: tihuia:n, ma:
xihuia:n, ma: huia:n
HUALLAUH
	Present
		nihua:llauh, tihua:llauh, hua:llauh, tihua:lhuih,
anhua:lhuih, hua:lhuih
	Optative
		ma: nihua:llauh, ma: xihua:llauh, ma: hua:llauh, ma:
tihua:lhuia:n, ma: xihua:lhuia:n, ma: hua:lhuia:n
