4.2 Non-native components

Tiriyó -e ‘sup’ (Meira 1999: 327) is a variant of Tiriyó -(s)e (Meira 1999: 327). Neither occur on Tiriyó mahto ‘fire’ (Meira 1999: 314), because it is a noun. They are related to Apalaí -se (Koehn and Koehn 1986: 77) and Wayana -(h)e (Tavares 2005: 236). This is thus a cognate set shared by Apalaí, Tiriyó, and Wayana.

  • If Tiriyó kure ‘good / pretty / well’ (Meira 1999: 345) has too long a translation, try Tiriyó kure ‘good’ (Meira 1999: 345).
