212 Here we gloss kumesa as ‘say’ but translate it as ‘judge’. Modern Omagua exhibits no word that expresses the<br />
notion <strong>of</strong> ‘judgment’ in the sense <strong>of</strong> Jesus’ judgment <strong>of</strong> souls and deeds on Judgment Day. Note, however, that it<br />
is a feature in many Peruvian Amazonian languages that words glossable as ‘say’ or ‘speak’ have the connotation<br />
<strong>of</strong> ‘criticize’, a notion not that distant from ‘judge’. Alternatively, the use <strong>of</strong> kumesa here to express the notion <strong>of</strong><br />
‘judgment’ may be a Jesuit innovation, based on the idea that to speak <strong>of</strong> wicked deeds is to reveal them, thereby<br />
making them vulnerable to moral censure.<br />
