View source for Tawɨ

The Southern Uto-Aztecan root *''tawɨ'' "sun", has a wide range of reflexes.

'''Nahuatl''':
:''to:na'' "heat", ''to:nal-li'' "heating, sun", ''to:natiw'' "sun, it goes heating" 
:''tlawia'' "to light something" < *''tawɨa'' "to illuminate", ''tlawilli'' "light, dawn" < *''tawɨri'' "light"
:''tlawiskalpan'' "dawn house" (mythological location in the eastern ocean), Tlawiskalpantekʷtli "dawn lord" (morning star deity)
:''tlatlawki'' "red" < *ta-tawɨ-kai 

Wixárika
:''tau'' < *''táwè''

==Stubbs==
For SUA Stubbs seems to imply a short root *ta'a "sun", with a longer root *tawɨ "day". It looks to me as if the opposite is more likely and that the short forms in Cahitan and Tarahumara-Guarijío are shortened from *tawɨ.

SUA *''tawɨ'' "sun"
:Corachol-Nahuan *tawe
:Tara-guarijío: Wr ''tawé'' 'day'; Tr ''ŕawé'' ‘day’
:Cahitan: My ''taáwa(ri)'' 'day'
:Ópatan: Eu ''távi/táve/táwi'' 'día, sol'

In Tara-Cahitan/"Sonoran" we also find a short root *''ta'a'':
Lionnet reconstructs: #267 *''ta'', "sol". - (Cahitan ''taá'а''; Guarijío ''tahá'')
Stubbs reconstructs: #2230b. *''ta’a'' / *''ta''- "(day)light, sun" (Yaqui ''taa’a'' "sun"; Mayo''taa’a'' "sol"; Raramuri ''ra-, ta-, ra-tá'' "daylight, sun, brightness".)

NUA: 
:Hopi: ''taawa'' "sun, day"; Hopi ''taavi'' "sunshine, sunlight" 
:Numic: *''tapa''
:Takic: *''tami''
