“This inventory distinguishes nasal stops /m/ and /n/ from oral stops /b/ and /d/, respectively…/d/ and /b/ occur in complementary distribution with /n/ and /m/, with the oral stops appearing in onsets and the nasals appearing in the codas” (Reilly 2002, 18).

Personal aspect markers

“Imperfective aspect is indicated by a proclitic ʔu, and Perfective aspect is indicated by a proclitic maʔ.” (Wichmann via Reilly 2004, 36). “A third aspect functions very much like a future tense, indicated by a suffix –p(ɛʃ)” (Reilly 2004, 36).

Cross-referencing morphology for all possible argument structures (Reilly 2007, 1581)

Subj → Obj (any asp’t)	Subj → Obj (any asp’t)	Subj (imperf.)	Subj (perf.,fut)
1 → 3 1st-A /N-/	3 → 1 1st-B /k+/	1 1st-A /N-/	1 1st-B /k+/
2 → 3 2nd-A /j-N-/	3 → 2 2nd-B /k+j-/	2 2nd-A /j-N-/	2 2nd-B /k+j-/
3 → 3 3rd-A /j-/		3 3rd-A /j-/	3 ∅
1 → 2 /k+N-/; 2 → 1 /k+jN-/ = portmanteau

(Reilly 2007, 1581)

“The use of a single marker taken from one of the two cross-referencer paradigms is sufficient to indicate the persons and grammatical functions… The GFM [Grammatical function morpheme] system in TEX [Texistepec Popoluca] always uses only a single prefix on a given verb.” This shows a more complex pattern than “simple accusative, ergative or aspect-split pattern”. …”Group X marks the A as Ergative but leaves P unmarked. Group Y marks the Past Absolutive but leaves the A unmarked. Group Z seems to be a separate and autonomous set. This pattern, where sometimes the P is marked and sometimes the A is marked, is called inverse alternation. (Reilly 2004, 53-54)"
