Continuing on the thread from yesterday, I'm working on identifying other words in Colonial Valley Zapotec whose spelling varies in some notable way from text to text.
One such word is bitoo ~ bitao 'God'. In Feria (1567) and Cordova (1578), this is consistently spelled with a single in the first syllable. In Aguero (1666) and Levanto (1732) the spelling has shifted to biitoo.
