IXHUĪLTIĀ vt To feed someone to satisfaction, to nurture someone / lo nutre, le sacia (T) [(3)Tp.215]. By general rule the vowel of the second syllable should be short, but it is consistently long in T. T also retains the initial I in the presence of reflexive prefixes, although M has weak (I) in the basic verb from which this is derived. M and T also have an alternate causative form (I)XHUĪTIĀ used reflexively with the sense of ‘to be overwhelmed by food.’ altern. caus. (I)XHUI
