Various compound words and phrases are found in different writers, some of which are readily explained from the Arawack. Thus _tureigua hobin_, which Peter Martyr translates “rex resplendens uti orichalcum,”[23] in Arawack means “shining like something red.” Oviedo says that at marriages in Cuba it was customary for the bride to bestow her favors on every man present of equal rank with her husband before the latter’s turn came. When all had thus enjoyed her, she ran through the crowd of guests shouting _manícato, manícato_, “lauding herself, meaning that she was strong, and brave, and equal to much.”[24] This is evidently the Ar. _manikade_, from _mân_, _manin_, and means I am unhurt, I am unconquered. When the natives of Haiti were angry, says Las Casas,[25] they would not strike each other, but apply such harmless epithets as _buticaco_, you are blue-eyed (anda para zarco de los ojos), _xeyticaco_, you are black-eyed (anda para negro de los ojos), or _mahite_, you have lost a tooth, as the case might be. The termination _aco_ in the first two of these expressions is clearly the Ar. _acou_, or _akusi_, eyes, and the last mentioned is not unlike the Ar. _márikata_, you have no teeth (_ma_ negative, _ari_ tooth). The same writer gives for “I do not know,” the word _ita_, in Ar. _daitta_.[26] Some of the words and phrases I have been unable to identify in the Arawack. They are _duiheyniquen_, dives fluvius, _maguacochíos_ vestiti homines, both in Peter Martyr, and the following conversation, which he says took place between one of the Haitian chieftians[TN-11] and his wife. She. Teítoca teítoca. Técheta cynáto guamechyna. Guaibbá. He. Cynáto machabuca guamechyna. These words he translated: _teitoca_ be quiet, _técheta_ much, _cynato_ angry, _guamechyna_ the Lord, _guaibba_ go, _machabuca_ what is it to me. But they are either very incorrectly spelled, or are not Arawack.
