Notes

1. Loukotka was based in the list of the bishop Baltasar Jaime Martínez Compañón: «43 voces castellanas traducidas alas ocho lenguas que hablan los indios de la costa, sierra y montañas del obispado de Trujillo del Perú, por el obispo de esta misma ciudad, baltazar Martinez de Compañón», written circa 1780.
