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"; Mayotaa’a "sol"; Raramuri ra-, ta-, ra-tá "daylight, sun, brightness".)

NUA:

Hopi: taawa "sun, day"; Hopi taavi "sunshine, sunlight"
