Y las mujeres le decían: "Quieto, putón. ¿Acaso perforaste el cabello con el que habré de beber? Porque aún no es tiempo de que me vaya."

Questions:

• xitlamatpolotiuh probably from tlamat- and -poloa
• There is an error in the morphology for cihua, needs to be fixed
• Is cuix an ADV or a PART. Andrews (p.40) puts it in the same category as ca.
• What is the structure of in tzontli ic natlitiaz ? Andrews (p.450) has a similar example Tilmahtli ic titlapohpohuaz. = "You will clean things with a cloth"
• What is the structure of inic cahua?
• What is the structure of ca yamo cuel in niyaz?

Is cuix an ADV or a PART. Andrews (p.40) puts it in the same category as ca.

In nhi, we tag the equivalent mox/max as ADV (I think we decided on a general avoidance of PART wherever possible. In azz, it is always tagged as SCONJ, which is probably because in that corpus it is only used with subordinate clauses, but we should check this out, as I suspect it behaves like in nhi, so could also be used in the matrix clause.

[ftyers]

I think that potentially it might be different in nci and in azz/nhi. But yes, I agree that this is something that we need to standardise on.

In terms of avoidance/not, I think if the distribution is different/specific/functional enough, and if it is treated like that in the grammars, then it isn't the worst thing in the world to use PART. But don't tell me-10-years-ago that :D

[Lguyogiro]

It appears that cuix has a similar distribution to max/mox and ox in azz, and is used witih both matrix and subordinated clauses. Looking at other languages in UD, I think PART is consistent, since this is how both question particles in Japanese and sentence-modality particles in Czech are treated https://universaldependencies.org/u/pos/PART.html

I also now think this is how we should annotate the corresponding words in contemporary Nahuatl treebanks.

[Lguyogiro]

What is the structure of in tzontli ic natlitiaz ?

tzontli should be the obj of oticcoyonih right? and then I guess advcl(oticcoyonih, natlitiaz) and obl(natlitiaz, ic)?

45 ic should be NOUN and have obl relation.

[Lguyogiro]

What is the structure of ca yamo cuel in niyaz?

something like...

[ftyers]

How about this?
