YECTELTLAMATQUI a wise person / sabio (Z) [(2)Zp.112,231]. If the vowel length pattern is correct, this has the literal sense of ‘knower of the things of old,’ but Z in one attestation marks the vowel of the first syllable long and in the other the vowels of the first and second syllable long. Z also has QUITĒLMATI ‘someone competent,’ and this may interact with YĒC-TLI ‘something good, pure, clean’ in some way. See YECTEL, MAT(I).
