  Alan King's note

  By Sch's account, tawilua is semitransitive; with an object it means 'alumbrar', without one 'brillar'. Carlos Cortez (p.c.) has challenged the latter assumption; and there are other Nawat words to render 'shine': kawani, tatawia, tzitzinaka. The Masin corpus presents two non-transitive examples of tawilua: (20) "Yajket tachiat wan kitaket se siwapilchin [= the moon], wan... kitaket ka yaja ne tawilua." The other example (22) is essentially similar, this time referring to the sun, which is described as follows: "Nemi tetekia wejka ne tunal. Ken se yawal. Uni yawal kipia ijikshi, kipia imejmey wan ijish. Inat ka tawilua." In both cases, either 'alumbrar' or 'brillar' would do in the translation, so this is inconclusive about the exact meaning, but definitely suggests that tawilua is indeed semitransitive. In any case, transitive 'alumbrar' does seem to be the predominant sense.
