Orthographic Variants:

IPAspelling:
-eːllelɑhsi
Frances Karttunen:
-ĒLLELAHCI verb that takes possessive rather than subject prefixes. to suffer greatly / recibir o tener mucha pena y aflicción (M). The first element of this is apparently an incorporated noun which is necessarily possessed with the possessive prefix expressing the person and number of the subject; ‘he suffers’ is expressed as ĪĒLLELAHCI. See ĒL-LI, AHCI. Frances Karttunen, An Analytical Dictionary of Nahuatl (Norman: University of Oklahoma Press, 1992), 77.
