The word _cunza_ in this tongue is the pronoun “our,”--the natives speak of _lengua cunza_, “our language.” Tschudi gives the only text I know--two versions of the Lord’s Prayer.

[337] The origin of the Chiriguanos is related from authentic traditions by Nicolas del Techo, _Historia Provinciæ Paraquariæ_, Lib. XI., Cap. 2. The name Chiriguano means “cold,” from the temperature of the upland region to which they removed.
