Frances Karttunen: 

ZĀTĒPANYAHUI someone younger / menor (T) [(2)Tp.64,223]. The literal sense of this is ‘to go afterwards.’ T characteristically drops word-final nasals, and when such an element compounds, the nasal sometimes does not appear, even though it is no longer in word-final position and this is the case with this item. See ZĀTĒPAN, YĀ.
