207 Note that in modern Omagua, muRa does not exhibit any deictic or inter-clausal discourse anaphoric properties, in
contrast to its apparent function in the text here. Although we know of no cognate to muRa in other Tupí-Guaraní
languages, let alone one with the relevant deictic or anaphoric properties, it is worth noting that the feminine
genderlect counterpart to muRa, namely ãi, is the reflex of the Proto-Tupí-Guaraní distal deictic aPé ‘s/he, that
one there’ (Jensen 1998:551). The fact that muRa appears to have deictic or discourse anaphoric properties here
suggests that it originated as a masculine genderlect deictic pronoun, and that some of those properties were still
retained in Old Omagua.
208 We interpret this to mean that appear between lines of text. Since it is not an identifiable morpheme, and
contributes nothing to the grammaticality or meaning of the sentence, we ignore it.
209 Here we change the original to maniasenuni. The latter word appears elsewhere in the ecclesiastical
texts as the reason interrogative word and is also the expected form for the reason interrogative based on the
reconstruction of Proto-Omagua-Kokama interrogative words (see Table 2.19). There is no root maRia elsewhere
