IV. The General further maintains that the interjection _ay!_ which occurs fifteen times in the Dominican text, is not Quichuan, but Spanish, and is an indisputable proof of Spanish origin. But another manuscript text has _nay!_ and _anay_, which are good Quichuan interjections. V. There is an allusion to an owl on the roof as a warning of death, which General Mitré considers to be an anachronism. This is not the case. It is alluded to as a popular superstition by the Council of Lima in 1583. [51] The word _sipi_ (a ring) is a later interpolation, not in the Justiniani text. [52] I have received from Dr. Mujica a copy of a _Yaráhui_, written with the orthography he considers to be most accurate, and the ordinarily accepted spelling, in parallel columns. [53] He finished his book in 1586. [54] Pages 224 to 235. [55] Every _ayllu_, or lineage, was known by its head-dress. [56] _Mercurio de Valparaiso_, 14th March 1853. [57] See Part I, p. 363. [58] Hatun Colla (Great Colla), a village N.W. of Lake Titicaca. [59] The Canas were a hardy mountain race on the water-parting between the Titicaca basin and the Vilcamayu. A proud, cautious, melancholy race of shepherds; constantly in revolt against the Yncas. [60] The Canches inhabited the hills opposite the Canas, on the right bank of the Vilcamayu. [61] Tomas Vasquez was one of the first conquerors, and had houses in Cuzco.--_G. de la Vega_, ii, p. 255. [62] Francisco de Villacastin was also a householder in Cuzco. He married an Ynca princess, widow of Juan Balsa, who was killed at the battle of Chupas, fighting for young Almagro. Through her, Villacastin inherited Balsa’s house at Cuzco. He died in prison at Cuzco, having taken the side of Gonzalo Pizarro. He owned the district of Ayaviri, and was one of the first conquerors, but a good man.--See _G. de la Vega_, ii, p. 524. [63] A village on the ridge between the basin of Titicaca and the Vilcamayu. The Ayaviris bordered on the Canas. [64] See Part I, p. 363. [65] Chucuito was a fief of the crown. [66] Garcilasso de la Vega says: “The Spaniards gave another name for God in their histories, which is _Ticiviracocha_, but neither I nor they know what it means.” But he quotes Blas Valera in another place, who says that the god _Ticci Huira-ccoccha_ was otherwise called _Pachacamac_. Montesinos suggests that _Tici_ meant “bottom or foundation”. I suspect it comes from _Atini_, “to conquer”. _Atic_, “conquering”. It may be from _Ticci_, “beginning”.
