to think that this use may have been correct at the time that the catechism was written, since its cognates in other<br />
Tupí-Guaraní languages refer, for example, to game animals in general, and not monkeys (e.g., Tupinambá emiaR<br />
‘presa, caça’ (Lemos Barbosa 1951:55)). Espinosa Pérez (1935:156) indicates that miaRakana is to be interpreted as<br />
a hypernym for all quadrupeds. Note that miaRa does not appear in the parallel clause in the catechism fragment<br />
(see (5.6a)).<br />
181 Here aikiaRa and upai appear in the reverse order we would expect, given that modifiers are systematically prenominal<br />
in modern Omagua (see §??.<br />
