The period thus seems to begin after dark, approximately
when people retire for the night, and end before dawn,
when they get up. Perhaps it refers to the period when
work is normally suspended; it is evidently tied to dark-
ness. Depending on one's point of reference in time

it may be translated variously.

The root arumanti overlaps the semantic field

of 'tomorrow'. La Paz, Juli and Huancané have both
arumanti and a g"ara form for ‘tomorrow'. A qg"ara form

was not elicited for Calacoa, which alone of the arumanti
‘tomorrow’ group also has g'alta for 'morning'. Salinas
and Jopoqueri have g"alt'i for ‘morning’ and g"ara forms
for 'tomorrow'; in Salinas g"alt'i also means ‘tomorrow’.
Salinas and Morocomarca have g"alt'i for both
‘morning’ and ‘'tomorrow' and Huancané has arumanti for
both meanings. La Paz has ch"armant"i ‘this morning’
built on arumanti, and arumanti ‘tomorrow’. La Paz and
Huancané also have forms based on q"ara for ‘tomorrow’
and La Paz also has arumarji ~ arumirja for ‘morning’.
Bertonio (1603b) indicated there were separate terms
for the two, *galta ‘morning’ and *maylluru ‘tomorrow’.
In contemporary dialects forms built of maya plus uru
mean ‘another day' rather than ‘tomorrow' except in
Sitajara, where the form has both meanings. (It may

also have had both meanings in 17th century Juli.)
