_Apina-gês_, north of Rio Tocantins.
_Aponegi-crens_, in south of province Maranhao.
_Acroas_, near Rio Tocantins.
_Aimores_, see _Botocudos_.
_Botocudos_, in Sierra dos Aimures.
_Carahos_, on Rio Tocantins.
_Camacans_, near Rio Pardo.
_Cayapos_, north of Rio Pardo.
_Chavantes_, near Rio Maranhao.
_Cherentes_, near Rio Tocantins.
_Chicriabas_, near Rio de San Francisco.
_Coretus_, on Rio Yupura.
_Cotoxos_, near Rio Doce.
_Cumanachos_, in province Goyaz.
_Crens_, see _Botocudos_.
_Gês_, in province Goyaz.
_Goyotacas_, in province Goyaz (see below).
_Malalalis_, near Rio Doce.
_Malalis_, in province Goyaz.
_Masacaras_, in province Goyaz.
_Pancas_, on Rio das Pancas.
_Potés_ (_Poton_), on upper Mucuri.
_Puris_, near Rio Paraiba.
_Suyas_, on upper Schingu.
The Goyotacas in the province of Goyaz and the regions adjacent include
a large number of tribes which Von Martius has shown to have sufficient
linguistic affinity among themselves to unite in one group, and
connections enough with the Tapuya stem to be regarded as one of its
sub-stocks.[354]
GOYOTACA SUB-STOCK.
_Capochos_, in the sierra between Minas Geraes and Porto Seguro.
_Coropos_, on the Rio da Pomba.
_Cumanachos_, adjacent to the Capochos.
_Machacalis_, on and near Rio Mucury.
_Macunis_, between Minas Geraes and Porto Seguro.
_Monoxos_, adjacent to the Macunis.
_Panhames_, on head-waters of Rio Mucury.
_Patachos_, on head-waters of Rio de Porto Seguro.
Another group believed by Martius to be a mixed off-shoot of the Tapuya
family belong to what I may call the
TUCANO SUB-STOCK.
_Cobeus_, on Rio Uaupes.
_Dace_, on Rio Uaupes.
_Jupua_, on upper Yupura.
_Jauna_, on Rio Uaupes.
_Tucano_, on Rio Uaupes.
All these tribes are found in the vicinity of the river Uaupes, and are
distinguished by three vertical lines tattooed or incised on the cheeks.
They take their name, as do some other Brazilian tribes not related to
them, from the beautiful toucan bird, which is frequently held sacred
among them, and is sometimes chosen as the totem of a gens.
I also attach to this stock the Carnijos or Fornio, a vocabulary of whose
language has been published by Professor John C. Branner, and which
hitherto has not been identified.[355] The following comparison between
it and the Tapuya dialects will show the affinity:
CARNIJOS. TAPUYA.
Fire, _tŏch_, _tiaköh_.
Eye, _i-to_, _ainthó_, _kitho_.
Nose, _d-ereta_, _d’asigri_.
Tooth, _i-axi_, _aiquá_, _daguoi_.
