203 This word auca is borrowed from Quechua. Given that Quechua only began to be used as a lingua franca in San<br />
Joaquín de Omaguas in the 1720s (Michael submitted), the appearance <strong>of</strong> this word suggests that this text was<br />
written or at least modified in this later period. It should be noted that this deduction is not entirely ironclad,<br />
since the Jesuits working in Maynas may have become familiar with Quechua during their preparatory time in<br />
Quito, prior to entering the Maynas missions.<br />
204 The word for ‘send’ in modern Omagua, which is also reconstructable to Proto-Omagua-Kokama, is yumunu. We<br />
cannot currently account for the sequence on this form.<br />
205 Here we alter the original to p, as this accords with the expected form 1p1pe in the Jesuit neologism for ‘Hell’,<br />
as evident in other instances <strong>of</strong> this form (see (6.27b)).<br />
