Classical Nahuatl interlinear gloss (word-by-word)

Vertical interlinear text for Nahuatl: segmented verb morphology (ni-, c-, chihui, -lia) aligned to English “I made my son a house”.

Languages: Classical Nahuatl → English. Shows the classic Humboldt-style vertical gloss where each morpheme in ni-c-chihui-lia in no-piltzin ce calli sits above an English word or phrase.

What it demonstrates: applicative -lia, possessive no-, and how object-language morpheme order differs from English syntax. Useful for Uto-Aztecan fieldwork handouts and typology classes.

Example layout based on an example in the Wikipedia article Interlinear gloss (illustrative; Leipzig-style conventions).
