cececui.

Headword:

cececui.

Principal English Translation:

to shiver, to have chills (see Karttunen)

Orthographic Variants:

cēcecui

IPAspelling:

seːsekwi

Frances Karttunen:

CĒCECU(I) pret: CĒCEC to shiver, to have chills / le dan frio, tiene escalofrío (T) [(3)Tp.222]. This apparently forms its preterit in the same manner as AHCOCU(I); namely the final vowel and also the labialization of CU are lost. The delabialization is analogous to that of M in word –final position, yielding N. redup. CECU(I).

CĒCECUĪTIA caus. CĒCECU(I).
Frances Karttunen, An Analytical Dictionary of Nahuatl (Norman: University of Oklahoma Press, 1992), 27.
