Frances Karttunen: 

TLAHYŌHUIĀ to suffer, to fast /ayuna (T), padece, sufre (Z) This is abundantly attested in T and Z, where IHĪYŌ-TL reduces to IHYŌ-TL. The nonspecific object prefix TLA- has been fused to the verb stem to form an intransitive verb. M has corresponding derived forms with the full TLAIHĪYŌ- element. Z does not mark the vowel of the second syllable long. See IHĪYŌHUIĀ.

TLAHYŌHUILIĀ applic. TLAHYŌHUIĀ.

TLAHYŌHUĪLŌ nonact. TLAHYŌHUIĀ.
