In Morocomarca g"ar.u:ru means ‘day after tomorrow',
the slot filled by the jurpi series elsewhere, and jurp.uru
means ‘day after day after tomorrow’, a semantic slot not
elicited for other dialects.

In La Paz q'alta ~ g"alt'i were rejected, although
a possibly related gallt.uru occurred in the phrase mayu
p"axs galit.uru ‘the first day of May' (La Paz/Tiahuanaco).
In Salinas arumanti was recognized as used elsewhere but
not there. Not all terms were tested in all areas, so
some not shown for a given area may in fact be acceptable

there.
