XXVI. The Consonants L, TH, THL 
L, th. See t, Chap. XXV., 
L-r, the absence of i in Mojo, Quechua, Guarani and others is often 
compensated by r, and equations must be looked for under that 
letter, e.g. G. karaii ; Ch. kilaii, stranger. 
Lr-ll. Many of the words in Quechua written ll appear as l or th in the 
Chaco dialects, e.g. Q. lla-pa ; T. la-pa ; L.-M. thla-mo, all ; 
Q. llilca, ; V. thluk ; Ch. thluk, a net ; Q. llakta, a town ; probably 
the Toba ka-lota, village ; L.-M. partido ákthla, mákthla attached 
to verbs to denote place, and thlánkuk, house, place. 
L-th, the letter th may sometimes be a strengthened form of l, as ith- 
lis, a rib, but generally speaking l and thl are interchangeable terms. 
In Vejoz it is sometimes used to diííerentiate, li-chu, its horn ; 
thli-chu, its cgg. As prefix of third person Toba uses l (the 
th sound not existing), the Suliin invariably adopt th (the l being 
raro), e.g. T. l-wák, his hand ; S. th-pakát, his hand.
