The word lado ‘side’ in San Ildefonso Tultepec Otomi (SIT Otomi) is a Spanish loanword and is used in descriptions of location and orientation involving five different types of spatial frames of reference (FoRs) according to data collected with a referential communication task in San Ildefonso Tultepec, Querétaro, Mexico. The task consists of matching pictures featuring both a ball – in different locations – and a chair – with different orientations – through linguistic descriptions of such images (Bohnemeyer, 2008). Lado occurs in different constructions involving different FoRs and it constitutes a frequent strategy when the relative FoR is used in SIT Otomi.
