The Catoquina and Ticuna are mixed dialects or jargons, but clearly
related to each other. Martius hesitated whether to assign them to his
“Guck” or his “Gês” stem. They both contain elements of the Arawak,
probably by borrowing. Locally they are neighbors. The vocabulary of
Ticuna is from Paul Marcoy’s work.
The Tucano, which is in the form obtained by Coudreau, shows elements
of Betoya and Arawak. Its relationship to the Tapuya is not fully
established.
The Zaparo from the Putumayo is from the collection of Osculati. It does
not seem in any way related to the great stocks of the Amazonian region.
