Frances Karttunen:
TLĀTLALOĀ vrefl to run in an orderly, sequential fashion / corro de aqui para allí (C for first pers. sg. subject), corremos de la misma manera como los que corren cañas (C) [(2)Cf.72v]. With a singular subject this means for a person to run from a starting point in a set direction. With a plural subject it means for people to run in an organized manner, as in pairs or relays. This contrasts with TLAHTLALOĀ for several people to run in the same direction but in an unorganized way.’ redup. TLALOĀ.
