166 Note that muRa 3sg.ms and awa ‘man’ are coreferential, and that this is a grammatical construction in Omagua.<br />
167 Our re-interpretation <strong>of</strong> orthographic as saSita ‘love’ is fairly radical, but plausible. Note that ipuSita,<br />
although a grammatical Omagua verb (meaning ‘make heavy’, from ipuSi ‘be heavy’ and -ta caus), is nowhere in<br />
these texts, or in modern Omagua, attested to mean ‘love’ (and moreover, ‘make heavy’ would be nonsensical in<br />
the given context). Also note that saSita is widely attested in these texts and in modern Omagua as ‘love’, and<br />
appears in the parallel clause in the full catechism (see (6.8b)), where the orthographic representation <br />
is much less controversially construable as saSita. We also believe that it is relatively easy for a handwritten <br />
in the <strong>manuscript</strong> to have been interpreted as a short and a with a relatively short tail.<br />
168 For an explanation <strong>of</strong> our phonemic representation <strong>of</strong> this form, see footnote 161.<br />
