Frances Karttunen:
IHUĀ vt; pret: IHUAH to send someone, something / enviar a otro a alguna parte o dar la mano el preso (M), enviar mensajero (M) The long vowel of the second syllable is evident in the applicative form, which is abundantly attested in B. C, R and M agree on the preterit form above, but S also gives IUH and IHUAC (with vowel length indeterminate) as alternate preterits. IHUĀLIĀ applic. IHUĀ
