Hehe. Thanks! :) Be sure to pronounce it [Ix'Intutam]. I just noticed that my correction was wrong. Again. The 3SG pronoun is indeed _u_, but the 3SG agreement prefix is 0 (null), so the correct phrase would be: Wix-in 0 -kin -pamuk-wa -tul pimak -0 2PL-ERG 3SG-what-speak-PRES-IRREAL language-ABS 'What language do you speak?' That is, "kin...", not "katkin..." or "ukin...". This time I *know* it's correct.
