pecados, y proponiendo hacer penitencia, confesarlos todos al sacerdote, que está en<br />
lugar de Dios y le absolverá de todos ellos.’<br />

221 At this point we interpolate the collocation tata tupak w aRape between 1p1pemai and Rana=, since it is clear from<br />
the corresponding Spanish that the 1p1pemai that appears in this sentence is the first element <strong>of</strong> the neologism<br />
1p1pemai tata tupak w aRape ‘Hell’, as in in (6.28b). Note that Espinosa Pérez (1935:161), in his representation <strong>of</strong> this<br />
sentence interpolates here, suggesting either that Espinosa made essentially the same judgment,<br />
or that these words were present in the original <strong>manuscript</strong>, and that Bayle failed to copy them.<br />
222 We interpret the string as a copying error <strong>of</strong> the word ‘heart’, where had a large upward loop<br />
at the right edge <strong>of</strong> the that resembled an .<br />
223 See footnote 217.<br />
224 The presence <strong>of</strong> the parentheses here is difficult to understand, since the material in the parentheses seems necessary<br />
for the sentence to be grammatical and sensible. We interpret the as the postposition =supe, and treat<br />
it as part <strong>of</strong> the preceding clause, given that the nominal compound misa yaw1k1taRa patiRi ‘mass-making priest’<br />
would not otherwise be licensed in the clause.<br />
225 The modern Omagua word ĩya ‘heart’, is one <strong>of</strong> a small number <strong>of</strong> words that exhibit nasal vowels.<br />
226 Here aise appears with morphology distinct from that in (6.15b) (see also footnote 192), further evidence that<br />
aise is a root. The function <strong>of</strong> is unclear, although it is clearly functionally distinct from the interrogative<br />
enclitic =pa. It has no reflexes in modern Omagua or Kokama-Kokamilla, although we suggest that here it has an<br />
adverbializing function.<br />
227 In modern Omagua, sapiaRi is polysemous, meaning both ‘obey’ and ‘believe’. We gloss it as ‘obey’ throughout<br />
the ecclesiastical texts, since that appears to the appropriate interpretation in the contexts in which the word<br />
appears, and because the ‘obey’ sense appears to be the historically prior one, based on the meanings <strong>of</strong> cognate<br />
forms in other Tupí-Guaraní languages (e.g., Tupinambá apiaR ‘obedecer a’ (Lemos Barbosa 1951:31)). In fact,<br />
the polysemy <strong>of</strong> Omagua sapiaRi, which can be reconstructed to Proto-Omagua-Kokama, appears to be the result<br />
<strong>of</strong> the collapse <strong>of</strong> two distinct roots (see also Tupinambá RobiaR ‘crer, acreditar em’ (Lemos Barbosa 1951:140)),<br />
perhaps via the causativized reflexive form <strong>of</strong> RobiaR ‘crer, acreditar em’, mojeRobiaR ‘honrar, obedecer’ (Lemos<br />
Barbosa 1951:94).<br />
