Principal English Translation:
before, in the presence of, contemporary with (see Karttunen);
in front of, in the presence of (see Carochi/Lockhart)
Frances Karttunen:
-ĪXTLAH postpositon before, in the presence of, contemporary with / en mi presencia o en mi tiempo (M for first pers. sg.), delante (C) [(4)Cf.21r,21v,(4)Zp.94,207] M has a printing error and reads ixilia. –ĪXTLAH is synonymouns with –ĪXTLAN, wich is attested in C but does not appear in M. Because of the general loss of final N and H in T, attestations from that source are ambiguous between the two. See ĪX-TLI, -TLAH.
