253 The modern Omagua reflex of this form is aks1a. Our transliteration of as ak1s1a, in particular the
transliteration of the word-medial as 1, is based on two sources: 1) Espinosa Pérez (1935:163, emphasis ours)
transcribes , which suggests that the medial vowel in question was 1, and not a; 2) The Kokama-
Kokamilla cognate is ak1tSa, which exhibits 1 in the second syllable, as well as the Kokama-Kokamilla reduction
of 1a to a, a process which occurred in final position in words of three syllables or more (O’Hagan and Wauters
2012).
254 Our insertion of uya here makes the sentence comprehensible, and also follows Espinosa Perez’s (1935:164) transliteration
of this portion of the catechism: .
