Great changes are made in some of the words in this song for prosodic reasons. Tsi'natan, tsi'nataa, and tsi'nat (1st lines) are all from tsĭl (plant) and natán (corn), Bidági (2d lines) is from bidí (its ear), iá' (it sticks up), and gi (in), Alkaí (line 1, stanza I.)=lakaí. Altsói (line 1, stanza III.)= litsói.
