to prove true, to be verified, to be realized (see Karttunen)
IPAspelling:
neltiyɑ
Frances Karttunen:
NELTIY(A) pret: NELTIX to prove true, to be verified, to be realized / hacerse verdadero (K) [(1)Bf.3r]. The single attestation is in preterit form. C's neltia, given as synonymous with NELTI, may represent NELTIY(A) rather than NELTIĀ, in which case the future form neltiz on Cf.110v is unambiguously the future form of NELTI alone. S assumes that it represents NELTIĀ with the preterit form NELTIH. If this were correct, then there are would be three nearly synonymous verbal derivations from NEL-LI 'something true, certain,' namely NELTI, NELTIĀ, and NELTIY(A), each with a different paradigm, but NELTIĀ is questionable. See NELTI, NELTIĀ. Frances Karttunen, An Analytical Dictionary of Nahuatl (Norman: University of Oklahoma Press, 1992), 164–165.
