mas- ~ was- ‘one (day) ago' (+ jayp'u and uru)

They occur without final vowels, but may be assumed to
have final /a/ by analogy with the root wasa, which
occurs as a free root in La Paz; *masawa ‘long ago' was
alleged by Bertonio (1603b:50).

The Spanish days of the week have been borrowed
into all Aymara dialects. They occur both as heads with
jich"a as modifier, and as modifiers with uru as head.
They also frequently occur as heads modified by alaya
'next' and pas.ir ‘last’ and as modifiers of alwa,

jayp'u, and probably others. The days are
lunisa < lunes ‘Monday '
martisa < martes 'Tuesday'
mirkulisa<miércoles 'Wednesday'
juywisa < jueves ‘Thursday '
wirnisa < viernes '‘Friday'
sawaru. < sdbado 'Saturday'
tuminku < domingo ‘'‘Sunday'
