zumi sumi dark shaman (Sp. brujo) 233, 319<br />
chipate 296 tSipate palm sp. (Sp. yarina) 112, 228<br />
Although the word sumi has not arisen in current fieldwork on Omagua, Chantre y Herrera<br />
(1901:75) gives the form for Old Omagua, and a cognate tsumi ‘curandero’ (‘healer’) is<br />
also attested in Kokama-Kokamilla (Vallejos Yopán 2010c:46). Espinosa Pérez (1955:305) also gives<br />
the form ‘brujo’ for Yameo, although the direction <strong>of</strong> borrowing is unclear.<br />
296 In modern Omagua the initial affricate has lenided to a fricative (i.e., SipatI).<br />
