The wide differences between the four main Peruvian stocks are seen
in the above vocabularies. The Kechua and Aymara alone have anything
in common. The Yunca is presented in the Mochica dialect, which is
that adopted by Carrera in his Grammar. The vocabulary of the Etenes,
as furnished by Bastian, differs from it only in the word for “eye,”
_tassack_, and “head,” _chätz_, which is remarkable, considering the
extreme difficulty of the Yunca phonetics. The grammars of these three
tongues are carefully analyzed by Fr. Müller.
The Atacameño words are from the authorities quoted on p. 227. Of its
grammar we have only the imperfect account furnished by San Roman, which
seems to remove it from the character of the Kechua and Aymara.
