Sumario: |
A history of Andean-Amazonian relations within Peruvian territory underlies the Quechua word for salt, kachi. The comparative study revealed a foreign origin of the word and implying, therefore, an ancient Andean-Arawak contact in the Peruvian Andean piedmont that influenced the formation of the word, as well as in the lexicon of other languages of the region. Indeed, kachi would be derived from the composition of two proto-roots Arawak, */kaʔ/ + */tsɨ/, which denote names and verbs related to the practice of fermentation or coagulation of liquids, a technique widely used in the Amazon to produce beer, drinks, condiments, among other things. |
