Questions:

• Status of ca, it looks like the PART, but check...
• What is inic, it seems to be functioning as an adposition, unless coyotl is a clause.
• What's the deal with mo in quimonahualtiaya? Is it honorific here?
• How about the in that goes with in ohtlica?

López Austin:

Decían que Tezcatlipoca muchas veces se disfrazaba de coyote. Y este coyote muchas veces atajaba los pasos a la gente en el camino.

Suggestions:

• nahualtia:
  • Subject: in Tezcatlipoca, Ø-
  • Object: Reflexive, mo-
  • Second (indirect) object: in coyotl, qui-
• Maybe auh inic coyotl, miecpa teyayacatzacuilia in ohtlica is something like "and how [this] coyote, often blocked people on the road".
  • Subject: coyotl, Ø-
  • Object: Animate, te-
  • Oblique: in ohtlica (this would mean that the in with ohtlica is a determiner and that is not clausal).

That would lead to something like:

Thoughts?

[Lguyogiro]

re inic coyotl, I think this should be inin coyotl

[Lguyogiro]

nahualtia:

Subject: in Tezcatlipoca, Ø-
Object: Reflexive, mo-
Second (indirect) object: in coyotl, qui-

yes this looks correct. though I'm not sure about "tezcatlipuca" being nsubj in the tree. i.e. isn't ca in tezcatlipuca: a clause? otherwise this syntax is kind of marked.

[ftyers]

re inic coyotl, I think this should be inin coyotl

Yep. I'll fix this in the original.

[ftyers]

nahualtia:

Subject: in Tezcatlipoca, Ø-
Object: Reflexive, mo-
Second (indirect) object: in coyotl, qui-

yes this looks correct. though I'm not sure about "tezcatlipuca" being nsubj in the tree. i.e. isn't ca in tezcatlipuca: a clause? otherwise this syntax is kind of marked.

Is your proposal:

They said: [indeed it was Tezcatlipoca], [he disguised himself as a coyote], [and this coyote obstructed people in the road].

I can find very few examples of ca in ... in Andrews or Launey, but one (p.527) is:

Launey (p.312) has:

Mìtoa: cuix īxquich quitta in huitziltzin? Ca in huitziltzin cencâ pitzactōn in ītēn "Se dice: ¿el colibrí (huitzilin) puede ver tanto? Pues el colibrí tiene un pico ("labios") muy delgado".

So we could do:

[Lguyogiro]

yeah that looks good to me.
