Appendix I. Guajá Generic Plant Names

Guajá Generic Plant Names 185 Appendix I. Guajá Generic Plant Names English glosses of Guajá plant names are mine. The plant terms in Guajá (left-­ hand column) are assigned morpheme boundaries. I did not know all these terms, so translations are not given. In many cases, I have used my knowledge of Ka’apor terms to help in glossing a Guajá word, as the plant names, while not identical, follow similar patterns in the two languages. The glosses given in this appendix are liberal. They are mostly indicative of the entire name, not the morpheme-­ by-­ morphemebreakdown,intheorderofthemorpheme(s)inaword.Whentheplant termisliteral,orunanalyzable(asdiscussedinBaléeandMoore1991,1994),Ihave not given a translation, except for names denoting domesticates that appear to be Tupí-­Guaraní cognates, in which case I have given English equivalents of the term.
