Frances Karttunen: 

YĒQUĪN just (referring to time) / apenas (Z) [(5)Zp.12,231]. This Z form seems related to YE and QUIN and also to YĒQUENEH ‘finally, moreover,' although the vowel length and quality do not agree. Z consistently has the vowel of the second syllable long in YĒQUĪN and YĒQUĪMPA and marks the vowel of the first syllable long half the time. See YE, QUIN, YĒQUENEH.
