	The Southern Uto-Aztecan languages have a set of words for "'''snow'''", that is separate from the Northern Uto-Aztecan words. PSUA had kɨpa (as opposed to ''nɨpa'' in Numic, Hopi and Tübatülabal, and *''yuyu'' in Takic.)		The Southern Uto-Aztecan languages have a set of words for "'''snow'''", that is separate from the Northern Uto-Aztecan words. PSUA had the root kɨpa "snow" (as opposed to ''nɨpa'' in Numic, Hopi and Tübatülabal, and ''yuyu'' in Takic ([[Stubbs, Brian D. 2011. Uto-Aztecan: A Comparative Vocabulary. Flower Mound, TX: Shumway Family History Services and Rocky Mountain Books.\|Stubbs 2011:#2074]]). This root was however apparently lost in Cahitan, and in Corachol-Nahua, unless we consider that Nahuan ''sepayawi'' comes from ''kepa-yawi''.

			Stubbs (2011) misses a Nahuatl cognate, ''sepa-yawi'' "snow", which could come either from ''kepa-yawi'' or ''sepa-yawi''. The root ''se(k)'' is reconstructed as "ice, frost" while ''yawi'' can be reconstructed as "precipitation" for Pre-Nahuatl. Either pre-Nahuatl formed kepayawi and then altered to sepayawi by analogy with the root ''setl'' "ice". Or else SUA has a second root ''sepa'' "snow" which is also reflected in Cahitan as ''sapa-m'' and Nahuatl as ''sepa-yawi''.

Stubbs misses a Nahuatl cognate ''sepa-yawi'' "snow", which could come either from *kepa-yawi or *sepa-yawi. The root *se(k) is reconstructed as "ice, frost" while *yawi can be reconstructed as "precipitation" for Pre-Nahuatl. Either pre-Nahuatl formed *kepayawi and then altered to sepayawi by analogy with the root *setl "ice". Or else SUA has a second root *sepa "snow" which is also reflected in Cahitan as *sappam and Nahuatl as *sepa-yawi.
