mitd'puigo'i. mi-, 3 d plu. sbj. pron. ta'pu, adv. immediately- 

 -/-, perpendicular, gd'i, pret. of goc, fall. (It is difficult to 

 avoid suspicion of Spanish influence in the use of the com- 

 pletive particles -va- and -to-, generally translated by Sp. 

 "ya", "already". tt Ya" is frequently used in Spanish for 

 future tenses as "ya merito", idiom for "at once", which is 

 generally translated in Tepecano by ta'pu. Similarly anti'vahi, 

 an obvious preterit, is translated, "ya me voy", "I am going". 

 This Spanish example may explain the use of the preterit 

 verb form and particle for an evidently future tense).
