INTEODUCTOEY. 
 
 The following contributions towards a grammar 
 and dictionary of the Quichua language have been 
 gradually collected during a course of years in 
 which my attention has been more or less turned 
 to the land of the Yncas. Two visits to Peru, in 
 1853 and I860, have given me good opportuni- 
 ties of working to some purpose in this field of 
 research. 
 
 The Quichua language had its cradle in the 
 districts round the ancient city of Cuzco; and, 
 as is well known, it was the policy of the Yncas 
 of Peru to introduce it into every country which 
 they conquered. • Thus its use was gradually 
 extended over the vast region from Quito to the 
 confines of Chile and Tucuman, which formed 
 the Empire of the Yncas. Indeed, the conquered 
 tribes nearly all spoke dialects of Quichua. The 
 people of Quito used a language which differed 
 scarcely at all from that of the Yncas. In the 
 
Z INTRODUCTORY. 
 
 northern and central parts of the sierra of Peru, 
 the Chinchay-suyu was spoken, also a mere dia- 
 lect of Quichua. The Yunca was the language 
 of the Peruvian coast, the Lama of the tribes 
 near the great river Huallaga, and the Gcauqui 
 of the people of Yauyos in central Peru. Round 
 the shores of lake Titicaca, the Ay mar a language 
 is spoken, from the village of Paucar-colla, twelve 
 miles north of Puno, to the southern part of the 
 modern republic of Bolivia. Aymara is certainly 
 very distinct from Quichua in sound, and many 
 of the words are different, but a large proportion 
 are the same, and the grammatical structure of 
 the two languages is identical. Further south, 
 the Calchaqui, spoken in Tucuman, is a dialect 
 of Aymara. With the exception of the Lama, 
 which is a branch of the great Twpi family of lan- 
 guages, all these Peruvian tongues come from 
 one common stock, and Quichua may be looked 
 upon as the elder sister and representative of the 
 group. During the period of Ynca ascendancy, 
 Quichua superseded all the other dialects as the 
 language of the governing race ; it was the lan- 
 guage of a people far advanced in civilization ; 
 it was assiduously cultivated by learned men for 
 
INTEODUCTOEY. 6 
 
 several centuries ; and it may, therefore, be 
 selected as the most perfect of the extensive 
 American gronp of languages. Hence its im- 
 portance to the philologist. 
 
 He who travels in the land of the Yncas, and 
 sees the rapid diminution of the aboriginal popu- 
 lation, and the constantly increasing corruption 
 of their ancient tongue through the substitution 
 of Spanish for Quichua words, the introduction 
 of Spanish idioms, and the loss of all purity of 
 style, cannot but feel that the language, once so 
 flourishing, which was used by a polished court, 
 and a well established government, which was 
 spoken throughout the extent of a vast empire, 
 is now fast disappearing. Ere long, perhaps, it 
 will fade away entirely from the memory of living 
 generations. 
 
 With it will disappear the richest form of the 
 great American group of languages, no small loss 
 to the student of philology. With it will be lost 
 all the traditions which yet remain of the old 
 glory of the Yncas, all the poems, elegies, and 
 love songs which stamp the character of a once 
 happy people. 
 
 The South American Spaniards in Peru have 
 
4 INTRODUCTORY. 
 
 paid some attention to the literature and history 
 of the aborigines. The late Don Mariano Kivero 
 carefully studied the antiquities of Peru, and 
 published a valuable work on the subject [Anti- 
 gnedades Peruanas) . The curas, also, of some of 
 the parishes in the interior, especially Dr. Dasa 
 of Pucara, Dr. Eosas of Chinchero, and the late 
 Dr. Justiniani of Laris, a descendant of the 
 Yncas, were excellent Quichua scholars, but their 
 knowledge dies with them. 
 
 But it is to the exertions of the active and 
 zealous ecclesiastics of the seventeenth and eigh- 
 teenth centuries that the advances in the know- 
 ledge of Quichua are chiefly due. They studied 
 the ' ' Lingua General del Peru" most assiduously, 
 and left the following grammars and dictionaries 
 as the fruits of their labours. 
 
 1. A grammar of the language of the Indians 
 of Peru, by Friar Domingo de San Tomas, of the 
 order of St. Domingo, a resident in that country, 
 printed in Valladolid, 1560 ; with a vocabulary of 
 the language of Peru, called Quichua, as an 
 appendix. Yery scarce. This friar was the first 
 doctor who graduated in the university of Lima. 
 
 2. A grammar and vocabulary of the language 
 
INTRODUCTORY. 5 
 
 called Quichua, by Antonio Bicardo. Lima, 
 1586. Very scarce. 
 
 3. A grammar and vocabulary of the Quichua 
 language, by Diego de Torres Rubio. Seville, 
 1603. A second edition printed in Lima, 1619. 
 A third edition, with a vocabulary of the Chin- 
 chaysuyu dialect and many additions, edited by 
 Juan de Figueredo. Lima, 1700. (There is a 
 copy of this edition in the library of the Royal 
 Geographical Society.) A fourth edition, with 
 Figueredo's additions, and further additions. 
 Lima, 1754. (A copy of this edition is in my 
 possession.) 
 
 4. Vocabulary of the Quichua language, by 
 Friar Juan Martinez. Lima, 1604. Only one 
 copy in Europe, and very few in Peru. This is 
 said to be the most copious dictionary of the 
 Quichua language ever printed in Spanish times. 
 
 5. Vocabulary of the general language of all 
 Peru, called Quichua or of the Inca, by Diego 
 Gonzalez Holguin, 1608. (There is a copy in 
 the public library at Lima.) Grammar, by the 
 same author. Lima, 1614. A second edition of 
 the grammar was published at Lima in 1842. (A 
 copy of this edition is in my possession.)

 Of modern writers, we owe most to that emi- 
 nent German traveller, Dr. von Tschudi, whose 
 Kechua Sprache contains a grammar and dic- 
 tionary of the Quichua language, and some speci- 
 mens of composition. 
 
 The language was cultivated to some extent in 
 Spanish viceregal times, by others besides gram- 
 marians. There was a professor's chair for the 
 Quichua language in the university at Lima, 
 whose first occupier was one Don Juan de Bal- 
 boa, a Peruvian by birth. Sefior Palomino, in 
 1 646, published a translation into Quichua of one 
 of the works of Cardinal Bellarmine : and, in 
 
INTEODUCTOEY. 7 
 
 1648, Dr. Avendaiio printed several sermons, in 
 Quichua. Dr. Lunarejo,* a rector of the univer- 
 sity of Cuzco, and other scholars, have printed 
 Quichua songs from time to time ; and Dr. Yal- 
 dez, cura of Sicuani, wrote a drama called 01- 
 lantay, into which several ancient songs are 
 incorporated. 
 
 The drama of Ollantay is the best known work 
 in the Quichua language, and the text of it is 
 printed at the end of Dr. von Tschudr's Kechua 
 Sjprache. For an account of the plot, and some 
 translations, I would refer the inquirer to chapter 
 vi of my work Cuzco and Lima ; and for some 
 account of the author, Dr. Yaldez, to my Travels 
 in Peru and India, page 139 (note), and page 
 166 (note). 
 
 During my visits to Peru in 1853 and 1860, I 
 endeavoured to obtain a complete vocabulary of 
 the rich and expressive language of the Yncas. 
 After having collected as many words as possible 
 from the mouths of Indians, and of curas learned 
 in the language, I collated my lists with the an-

 /He flourished during the time of the viceroy Count of

 cient dictionary of the Jesuit Holguin in the 
 public library at Lima, with the vocabularies in 
 the editions of Torres Rubio, and with the dic- 
 tionary in Yon Tschudr's Kechua Sprache, adding 
 such words as were not already contained in my 
 lists. I have also added such Quichua words as 
 are given in Grarcilasso de la Vega, Acosta, and 
 Velasco, and in the botanical works of Ruiz and 
 Pavon, and of Haenke. The short grammar 
 which precedes my dictionary is founded on those 
 of Holguin and Torres Rubio. 
 
 Quichua literature, in the time of the Yncas, 
 had been carefully cultivated for centuries, not 
 only by the Haravecs or bards in their love 
 ditties and songs of triumph, but by the Amautas, 
 whose duty it was to preserve the traditions of 
 the people, and prepare the rituals for the wor- 
 ship of the Deity. The loss of nearly every spe- 
 cimen of this ancient literature was caused by 
 the Spanish conquest which swept away all the 
 landmarks of the civilization which it destroyed, 
 the neglect of the conquerors, and the final deso- 
 lation which followed on the failure of Tupac 
 Amaru's rising in 1780. 
 
 A few fragments have, however, escaped the 
 
INTRODUCTORY. \) 
 
 general wreck, and floated down to our time. Of 
 these, the most important, because indisputably 
 the most authentic, are the two meagre speci- 
 mens preserved by the old Inca Grarcilasso. The 
 first of these is a verse of a little love ditty which 
 he remembered as a boy : 
 
 Caylla llapi To the song 
 
 Puiiunqui, You will sleep, 
 
 Chaupi-tuta In dead of night 
 
 Hamusac : I will come : 
 
 and which he tells us was sung with a lute. The 
 second is longer, and appears to have been a 
 fragment of some grand old hymn, like those of 
 the Big Yeda, in which the powers of the air 
 were personified. The missionary, Bias Yalera, 
 obtained it from an ancient Quvpu record; and 
 Grarcilasso recollected having heard many other 
 hymns of a like nature from his Ynca relations, in 
 his childhood, which he afterwards forgot. What 
 would not one now give for those precious relics 
 of Ynca civilization, which the half-caste lad care- 
 lessly allowed to slip from his memory ! 
 
 In the fragment that has been preserved, the 
 Deity is supposed to have placed a princess in 
 the sky, with a vase full of water, with which 
 
10

 from time to time slie supplies rain to the thir sty- 
 earth ; and her brother strikes the vase, which 
 occasions thunder and lightning.

 This poetical treatment of the grand pheno- 
 mena of nature reminds one of the hymns of the 
 Rig Veda, and especially of the war between 
 Indra and Vritra, the cloud demon. 
 
INTRODUCTORY. 1 1 
 
 Grarcilasso distinctly states that his informant, 
 Bias Yalera, obtained the above fragment from 
 qidjpus or knots of various colours, which served 
 for the preservation of ancient annals and tradi- 
 tions. After a very careful study of all the mate- 
 rial within my reach, bearing upon the question 
 of qiivpu records among the ancient Peruvians, I 
 have come to the conclusion that they were not 
 only used to preserve revenue accounts, but also 
 to hand down poetical and historical composi- 
 tions ; in short, that they contained a rich and 
 varied literature. Hundreds of these qw/pus have 
 been found in the ancient burial places, being 
 knotted cords of bright coloured llama wool, but 
 most of them fell to pieces on being exposed to 
 the outer air. Others, however, have been pre- 
 served; and the secret of reading them is still 
 known to a very few Indians of rank. This part 
 of the subject alone offers a promising and in- 
 tensely interesting, though difficult field of re- 
 search to the future explorer of Peruvian anti- 
 quities. 
 
 Next in interest to the poetical fragments 
 quoted above, comes the Quichua dramatic litera- 
 ture. The Ynca historian tells us that the Amau- 
 
12 INTE0DUCT0EY. 
 
 tas or learned men composed tragedies and come- 
 dies which were performed before the Ynca and 
 his nobles on festive occasions. The actors, he 
 says, were not low born, but the sons of no- 
 blemen; and the subjects were always military 
 triumphs, and mighty deeds of former Yncas. 
 The comedies treated of farming, and other 
 homely topics; but they never contained any 
 buffoonery nor immoral allusions. None of these 
 ancient plays are extant, but two Quichua dra- 
 mas have come into my hands which undoubt- 
 edly contain several ancient songs, and some 
 other passages of the Ynca period, though they 
 are in a Spanish dress, and were mainly written by 
 Spanish curas. One is entitled Ollantay, by Dr. 
 Yaldez of Sicuani, which I have already men- 
 tioned; and the other, Usca-Paucarj by an un- 
 known author. They are not without literary 
 merit ; some of the scenes are very fine, and as 
 tolerably pure specimens of Quichua, they are 
 well worthy of careful study. 
 
 Besides the fragments preserved by Garcilasso, 
 and the above mentioned dramas, Quichua litera- 
 ture consists of theological works and catechisms 
 translated from the Spanish, a few ancient poems, 
 
INTRODUCTORY. 13 
 
 and numerous modern love songs. Of the an- 
 cient poems, I have as many as twenty in my 
 possession, which were given to me by a de- 
 scendant of the Yncas. The modern love songs 
 and despedidas are innumerable, that which I be- 
 lieve is considered the purest and most elegant 
 is entitled La Despedida de Arriasa, but there 
 are many others of almost equal merit. A love 
 song attributed to Dr. Lunarejo, a copy of which 
 was given me by Don Juan Francisco Oviedo, of 
 Puno, is also much appreciated by Indian lovers. 
 The phrases in the original Quichua are cer- 
 tainly very neat and expressive, and the sentiment, 
 though exaggerated, is pleasing and imaginative. 
 Quichua was a highly cultivated language ; and 
 the student who may turn his attention to the 
 history of the American races will find in this 
 rich and copious tongue many ancient fragments 
 of prose and poetry which will convince him of 
 the civilization of the Peruvians. He will find 
 love songs which are quite equal to the odes of 
 Hafiz, and hymns to the elements not inferior to 
 the mantras of the Rig Yeda. Quichua literature 
 is a field of research which is as yet scarcely 
 touched. Careful investigation might bring many 
 
14 INTEODUCTOEY. 
 
 curious manuscripts to light, which are now 
 mouldering in the chests of aged Curas or of In- 
 dians in the secluded villages of the Cordilleras ; 
 and it is quite possible that important discoveries 
 might yet be made, bearing on the history and 
 civilization of this interesting race. But there is 
 no time to be lost. Every year the living lan- 
 guage becomes more corrupt, and loses more and 
 more of its purity. Every year the chances in- 
 crease of the total loss of records which still 
 remain in manuscript. 
 
 That, during the first two centuries after the 
 conquest of Peru, the Indian Guracas in different 
 parts of the country caused many of the historical 
 poems and other records preserved in the quvpus, 
 or in the memory, to be committed to writing, 
 there exists the clearest evidence. They were 
 carefully preserved and handed down from father 
 to son, and although many must have been de- 
 stroyed during the revolt of Tupac Amaru, some 
 must still remain, and would reward a diligent 
 search. 
 
 In the civilization of ancient Peru the American 
 race had attained its highest development. I am 
 now convinced that that civilization was indi- 
 
INTRODUCTORY. 15 
 
 genous, and it was making very slow but sensible 
 progress when it was overwhelmed by the Spanish 
 conquest. Portions of the wreck have drifted 
 down to our time, and await the searching scru- 
 tiny of some future antiquary. All that has yet 
 been done is incomplete and unsatisfactory. 
 Men's minds are now more than ever turned to 
 the study of the early history and origin of their 
 species. Before long I anticipate that, with other 
 branches of the great human family, the American 
 race will attract a larger share of attention from 
 the learned men of the present age, and of this 
 race the Peruvians are the representatives, as the 
 most advanced in civilization. But meanwhile 
 their once pure and beautiful language is becom- 
 ing more and more corrupt. 
 
 Considerations such as these led me to de- 
 sire that my collections of Quichua words should 
 be printed, and thus become useful to others 
 who may follow me in this field of research. 
 Ever since I was a midshipman on the Pacific 
 station, years ago, the land of the Yncas has had 
 for me an indescribable charm. I greedily de- 
 voured the pages of Prescott while anchored 
 under the shadow of the mighty Cordillera ; and 
 
16 INTRODUCTORY. 
 
 the story of the conquest, and of the gentle 
 children of the Sun, made an impression on me 
 then, which time will never efface. Since those 
 days, I have traversed the glorious Andes in va- 
 rious directions, and would desire no pleasanter 
 occupation than again to be able to explore their 
 secluded recesses. But this cannot be; and I 
 am only able to hope that my present humble 
 contribution towards the study of the American 
 races, in the form of a grammar and dictionary 
 of Quichua, the language of the Yncas of Peru, 
 may enable others to make a start at the point 
 where I have been obliged to leave off.

QUICHUA GKAMMAK 
 
 PRONUNCIATION. 
 
 The Spanish method of spelling has been adopted, 
 because all printed and manuscript Quichua writ- 
 ings are in this form, so that any other would be 
 useless and confusing. 
 
 A is always broad, as in the English far. 
 
 G as c in cat. 
 
 Gc is a double sound peculiar to Quichua : the 
 first, a guttural far back in the throat ; and the 
 second on the roof of the mouth. Holguin makes 
 another still harsher sound with Kli, but I have 
 not separated the words thus spelt by Holguin, 
 from those beginning with Gc. 
 
 Gh is pronounced as in English. Some words 
 beginning with this sound are pronounced rather 
 sharper than others (Teh, Tchs, Tchli), but it 
 would not be possible to acquire the use of these 
 
 c

 H scarcely sounded. The Spaniards often use 
 G instead. Hu pronounced as w.

 P as in English ; often corrupted into B by 
 the Spaniards, who write bamba for pamrpa, and 
 tambo for tampu. Ph, each letter sounded sepa- 
 rately, and Pp is a double sound. 
 
 Qu as the English K. 
 
 B as in English. Often corrupted by the 
 Spaniards into L, as Lima for Bimac, Lunahiiana 
 for Bunahuanac, Lucma for Bucma, &c. 
 
 8 as in English. 
 
 T as in English. Th, each letter sounded sepa- 
 rately, and Tt is a double sound. 
 
 U as the English W when followed by a vowel, 
 and like oo in fool when followed by a consonant. 
 It is often corrupted into V by the Spaniards. 
 Y as in English, or as the English I.

 It will be observed that the following conso- 
 nants are wanting in Qnichua : B, B, F, G, J, V, 
 W, X, Z. 
 
 NOUNS. 
 
 In Quichua the noun is declined by the addi- 
 tion of terminations to the root, some of which 
 have no independent meaning in themselves, 
 while others are prepositions. The ordinary plural 
 is formed by the addition of the particle cuna, 
 which also has no independent meaning.

22 QUICHUA GEAMMAE. 
 
 PLUEALS. 
 
 There are several forms of the plural number 
 in Quichua. 
 
 Guna is the ordinary form for nouns and par- 
 ticiples. But naui cuna means the eyes of 
 several people, not those of one. A pair of 
 eyes, ears, feet, or hands, would be formed 
 by pura (both), purapnin } or pur apnami. "My 
 eyes," purap nauiy. My two feet, purapnin 
 chaquiy ; but not chaquiy pura. Yscaynin rincri 
 is my ears, but yscay rincrin would be two 
 ears belonging to different persons. Pura and 
 Purantin are also used when the noun refers 
 to an action confined to itself, as Aucapuran- 
 tm, " the soldiers amongst themselves." When 
 the number is given, it is not necessary to use 
 curia also : Ghunca punchau, " ten days," not 
 Ghunca punchau-cuna, although the use of cuna 
 is admissible. 
 
 Ghac, Ghaquen, is a comparative plural, as 
 Anac-chac, " things harder •" Llacllac-chac, " more 
 timid people ." 
 
 Ghicachac is a plural solely referring to size 
 (Ghica meaning "as," "as large as"). Thus,

 Huasi chicachac taucasca yamta, {( a heap of fire- 
 wood as large as a house." 
 
 Ntin is a termination for forming plurals when 
 two or more things or persons are spoken of 
 collectively, as Aylluntin, those of one family; 
 Huasintin, a household; Cosantin, husband and 
 wife; Ttahuantin-suyu, the four regions (the 
 name given to the Empire of the Yncas) . 
 
 Another form of plural is the repetition of the 
 noun itself, which denotes quantity, as Runa- 
 runa, a crowd ; Hacha hacha, a forest. 
 
 GENDER AND RELATIONSHIPS. 
 
 There are no terminations denoting gender in 
 Quichua. Difference in gender is expressed by 
 distinct words, as : 
 
 Ccari, man Huayna, young man 
 
 Huarmi, woman Sip as, young woman 
 
 Urcu, male Mada, boy 
 
 China, female Tasqui, girl 
 Machu, old man 
 Fay a, old woman 
 
 But Quichua is richer than any European Ian- 
 
24 QUICHUA GRAMMAR. 
 
 guage in words denoting relationship. There 
 are distinct words for the same relation when 
 used by a man or a woman; thus a brother's 
 brother is Huauque, and a sister's brother Tura, 
 and there are also differences for an uncle or aunt 
 on the father's or mother's side, and even for a 
 father or mother when speaking of their children. 
 This minute accuracy in speaking of relations 
 may, perhaps, be taken as an indication of ad- 
 vanced civilization amongst the ancient Peru- 
 vians.

 ADJECTIVES AND COMPOUND 
 SUBSTANTIVES. 
 
 Adjectives are always placed before their sub- 
 stantives, and are indeclinable, as : Sumac huar- 
 mi y a beautiful woman ; Sinchi runap, of a strong 
 man. Adjectives are also formed by genitives, 
 as runap, of a man, hence manly. Runap may 
 also be i( that which belongs or appertains to a 
 man," and it is then declinable, as : 
 
 Runap Runa-cunap 
 
 Runappa Runa-cunappa 
 
 Runappac Runa-cunappac 
 
 Runapta Runa-cunapta 
 
 Other forms, with the same meaning, are 
 Riinallap and Runapnin. 
 
 Another compound substantive derived from 
 the genitive, is formed in " chaynin" as : 
 
 Apup-chaynin, that which belongs to a chief 
 Apup-chaypi, in a place belonging to a chief 
 Apup-chayman, to a place belonging to a chief 
 &c, &c. 
 
28 QUICHUA GEAMMAE. 
 
 DEGREES OF COMPARISON. 
 
 The most usual forms of comparison are : 
 Asuan (more) and Ancha (most), placed before 
 the adjective, as : 
 
 Huaccha Asuan huaccha Ancha huaccha 
 (poor) (poorer) (poorest) 
 
 With the addition of a possessive particle to the 
 comparative, as Asuan huacchayqui, the meaning 
 becomes "he who is poorer than you." The 
 possessive particles are used for comparison in 
 this way : Sinchm, ' c stronger than he •" Sin- 
 chmniy, " stronger than I." 
 
 Nequen (the same) is also used for forming 
 comparisons, as : Yachacninequey , " he who knows 
 more than I." The preposition 7nanta is also 
 used, as : nocamanta amauta, " wiser than I j" 
 and occasionally the genitive, as : nocajp sumac, 
 u more beautiful than I." 
 
 The most common superlative form is the pre- 
 fix Ancha (most) . Another is i hinantin in the 
 genitive, as : Hinantinpa sinchi, " strongest of 
 all." Also Llajpa (all) in the genitive plural, as : 
 Llapantinpa yacha, " the wisest of all." Gay 
 
QUICHUA GRAMMAR. 29 
 
 huarma llajpa huarma-cunamanta ancha amau- 
 tan, " this boy is the wisest of all the boys." 
 
 Checamanta is another form of superlative, as : 
 Checamanta nucnu, "the sweetest/'' The word 
 is formed of Checa (true) and the preposition 
 manta. Sullul, which also means true, is an- 
 other superlative form, with manta, as : Sullul- 
 manta milla, " most filthy." 
 
 PARTICLES WHICH MODIFY THE 
 MEANING OF NOUNS. 
 
 In order to give an idea of the great abundance 
 of modes of expression in Quichua, which is 
 caused by innumerable processes of agglutina- 
 tion, it is necessary to give some of the many 
 particles which are added to nouns, in order to 
 convey various meanings. It is this power which 
 causes the extraordinary richness and variety of 
 expression in the language. 
 
 Anay, or Munay, or Munaylla, are added to 
 convey an idea of excellence or superiority, as : 
 Munallay nucnu taqui, " what wonderfully sweet 
 
30 QUICHUA GRAMMAR. 
 
 Gay (the infinitive of the verb cani) is used to 
 signify abstract existence or being; or, when 
 added to an adjective, it converts it into the cor- 
 responding substantive. For example, Runacay 
 is manhood ; llampucay, kindness ; yuraccay, 
 whiteness. 
 
 Casca or Ganca (derived from the verb cani) 
 serve the same purpose, but denoting past and 
 future time. Runacasca, humanity now; and 
 Alli-cascan, past kindness. 
 
 Gay or Camay signifies a person's condition or 
 fate, as huaccha cayny (my state of poverty) . 
 
 Gama, when added to a noun, gives a meaning 
 of inclusiveness, as sinchi cama, all strong with- 
 out excepting one; yachac cama, all learned; 
 macharcan cama, they were all drunk. 
 
 Gaman, added to nouns and pronouns, means 
 the task that has to be done, work, or occupa- 
 tion, as Nocajp camay y my task ; Gamjpa camay- 
 qui, your task. It also means fitness, as Apupac 
 caman, fit to be chief. 
 
 Gamayoc is attached to offices and employ- 
 ments, as Sir ay -camay oc, a tailor; Llacta-ca- 
 mayoc, a village officer ; Pucara-camayoc, a cas- 
 tellan. 
 
QUICHTTA GRAMMAR. 31 
 
 Sa/pa means quantity or size, when added to a

 very unhappy ; Yuyay-sapa, very thoughtful. 
 
 Sasa means difficult ; as huanuchiypac yac sasa, 
 one who dies hard. 
 
 Ghau or Chaupi, added to verbs or nouns,

 chau-concasca, half-forgotten. 
 
 Ghac or Ghicachac is used for comparing one 
 thing with another. Noca chac, the same size as 
 I am. Hualpa chicachac yutu, a partridge the 
 size of a cock. Buna chac yachac cusillu, a 
 monkey as intelligent as a man. In this idiom, 
 the thing compared is also placed first. 
 
 Hina, as : Nirac, as : riti hina pirca, a wall as 
 white as snow ; atoc nirac runa, a man as cunning 
 as a fox. Placed before a noun, hina means 
 custom or habit, as hina llullu, an habitual liar ; 
 hina llallac, constitutionally a coward. 
 
 Huatan, huacta, tullpan, and tullpa, mean dis- 
 simulation, and are used with the preposition 
 pi ; thus huatanpi ccari, a woman feigning to be 
 a man; tullpanpi huarmi, a man pretending to 
 be a woman. 
 
32 QUICHUA GRAMMAR. 
 
 Ymana Ymanac, added to a word, means a 
 want or excess of anything beyond what is na- 
 tural, as puca ymanac, an unnatural colour ; tullu 
 ymanac, emaciated. 
 
 Yoc, Niyoc, or Queyoc, added to nouns, mean 
 the possessor or owner, as huasiyoc, owner of the 
 house. Nnac or Ninnae is the opposite of yoc, 
 as yayannac, fatherless. 
 
 Yupa, Yupay, or Yupasca, imply reputation, 
 as Gcapac yupa, he who is reputed to be rich ; 
 yachac yupa, he who is considered wise. Nisca 
 has the same meaning. 
 
 Lla is a termination expressing tenderness or 
 love, as Churillay, my dear son; Urpillay, my 
 dove. 
 
 Llayqui at the end of a noun signifies " give 
 me," with a plural Llayquichic, as cullqui llayqui, 
 give me silver; chayllayqui, give me that; 
 asuanllay quickie, give us more. 
 
 Masi, added to an active participle, means a

 tive, as mana-alli, bad.

 tleman of the period. 
 
 Soncco (heart) is frequently used to signify 
 heartiness or fondness for any pursuit, as yachac

 There are two forms of plural, both for pro- 
 nouns and verbs of the first person, called inclu- 
 sive and exclusive. The former is used, for 
 instance, when those who speak and those who 
 are spoken to are all referred to. When a man 
 is speaking to a mixed company of men and 
 women, but intends to speak only of the men, he 
 would use the exclusive plural, and say nocaycu 
 ccari-cuna, " We the men" : or a priest speaking 
 of his order to other people, would say nocaycu 
 nmn-cuna, "We the priests". The plural par- 
 ticle cuna may be added to either of the plurals, 
 but this is not generally done, as nocanchic-cuna, 
 or nocaycu-cuna.

 Quiqui is self, and is used together with the 
 possessive particles, as Quiquy, I myself; Qui- 
 quyqui, you yourself; Quiquin, himself; Cayqui- 
 quin, the same. Pocpun is also self. 
 
 Chic is a form of plural used to express angry 
 feeling or reprehension. Camchic runa cuna, you 
 bad men. 
 
 The most frequent form of the possessive pro- 
 nouns is as particles attached to the end of words, 
 and unable to stand by themselves.

 TRANSITIONS. 
 
 When the action passes from one person to 
 another, as I love thee, the expression forms one 
 word, and is conjugated. This union between 
 pronouns and the verb has been called by Spanish 
 grammarians a Transition, and there are four 
 different classes of transitions in Quichua, namely : 
 
 )) 
 
 The first person to the second, expressed by 
 „ third „ second, „ sunqui 
 
 second „ first, „ huanqui 
 
 third „ first, „ huan

 This peculiar form of agglutination is common 
 to nearly all the American languages. Some of 
 them have six forms of transition : from the first 
 person to the second and third, from the second 
 
52 QUICHUA GEAMMAE. 
 
 to the first and third, and from the third to the 
 first and second; others,, like the Quichua, have 
 four ; and others, only two.

 The same verbal root serves, by modifications 
 in tfhe terminations, for a number of other verbs 
 of cognate meanings.* Thus : 
 
 Ahuani .... I weave 
 Ahuarini ... I begin to weave 
 Ahuarijpuni . . I continue weaving

 The verbs ending in ni in the first person sin- 
 gular, of the present tense indicative, active voice, 
 are the verb (C to be", cani ; all active verbs, as 
 munani, I love ; and all neuter verbs, as tiyani, 
 I am seated. Defective verbs, having only a 
 third person, end in n> as par an (it rains), cacim 
 (it thunders), thucnin (it lightens) . There are 
 also some impersonal verbs, as yarecahuan (I am 
 hungry), nanahuan (I am in pain). 
 
 The verb cani is used to form some neuter 
 verbs, as tiascamcani (I am seated), onccuscam- 
 cani (I am ill) . 
 
 Ch, cha, added to a verb, implies a doubt, as : 
 
 May pin y ay ay qui . Where is your father ? 
 Maypich .... I don't know 
 
 Chu, added to the second person, implies a 
 question, as : , 
 
 Micunquichu . . . Do you eat ? 
 Micuyta munanquichu Do you want to eat ?

 PARTICLES WHICH MODIFY THE 
 MEANING OF VERBS. 
 
 The meaning of verbs is modified in many 
 ways by the insertion of particles. Some of these 
 are as follows. 
 
 Ca/pu conveys the meaning of a return to that 
 which had been once done before ; as yachacajmni, 
 I begin to learn what I had once before learnt ; 
 yuyacajmni, I recollect what I had formerly known 
 but afterwards forgotten. 
 
 Chani serves to convert some nouns into verbs ; 
 as huasi, a house ; huasichani, I build a house ; 
 pamjpa, a plain ; parwpachcmi, I level. 
 
 Cham, added to a verb, means completeness ; 
 as ccahuani, I view; ccahuachacuni, I examine 
 closely ; macani, I strike ; macachacuni, I give a 
 blow in every part of the body. 
 
 Chana implies decadence, a fall from better to 
 worse ; as huaccha, poor ; huacchachanani, I fall 
 from wealth to poverty. 
 
 Chca signifies actual present action ; as yuyani, 
 I think ; yuyachcani, I am thinking at this 
 moment. 
 
 Chi means the act of making another do a 
 
56 QUICHUA GRAMMAE. 
 
 thing : tianij I sit ; tiachini, I make another 
 sit. 
 
 CMcu } to leave a thing done; as hampini, I 
 cure ; hampichicuni, I leave a man cured ; suani, 
 I rob ; suachicuni, I leave a man to be robbed. 
 
 Ccu means to be doing a thing, though not in 
 an active sense; as tiani, I sic; tiaccuni, I am 
 seated ; micuni, I eat ; micuccuni, I am eating. 
 
 Yaccu signifies to make another attain any- 
 quality; as cca/pacycbccuni, I make a man rich; 
 llamjouyaccuni, I make a man gentle. 
 
 Yachi changes the condition of a thing; as 
 anac, hard ; anacyaclvini, I harden. 
 
 Ycu completes or consummates an action ; as 
 ypusani, I guide ; pusaycuni, I guide to a jour- 
 ney's end. 
 
 Llicuni, added to all clothes, makes a verb 
 implying the action of putting them on; as 
 yacolla, a mantle; yacollallicuni, I put on a 
 mantle ; chumpi, a girdle ; chumpillicuni, I gird. 
 
 Mpu is to do a thing over again ; as apamuni, 
 I bring ; apampuni, I bring again. 
 
 Nacu means one another ; as checmni, I hate ; 
 checninacuni, I hate another. 
 
 Nay a means desire; as ricuni, I see; ricu- 
 nayanij I have a wish to see. 
 
QUICHUA GEAMMAE. 57 
 
 Ncha, added to prepositions of position, makes 
 a verb ; as chaupi, the middle ; chaupinchani, I 
 put in the middle. Gaylla, near; cayllanchani, 
 I put near. 
 
 Ni is the ending of all active verbs, and serves 
 to convert a noun into a verb; as yamta, fuel; 
 yamtani, I get fuel. 
 
 Pa, to do a thing over again; as tarpani, I 
 sow ; tarpa/panij I sow over again. 
 ' Pay a implies excess ; as ajpani, I carry ; apa- 
 payani, I carry too much. 
 
 Bay a means duration; as oncconi, I am ill; 
 onccorayani, I suffer from a long illness. 
 
 JRi is to begin an action; as apani, I carry; 
 aparini, I put on a load ; sayani, I stand ; 
 sayarini, I get up. 
 
 TJssi is to help ; as llamcani, I work ; llam- 
 caussinij I help another to work. 
 
 There are also particles standing by them- 
 selves, with the nature of defective verbs, as : 
 
 Amarac . Wait Ma-chaicca How is this? 
 
 Ga . . Take Upalla . Hold your 
 
 Hacu. . Let us go tongue 
 
 Ma . . Let us see Pacta . . Take care 
 
58 QUICHUA GRAMMAR. 
 
 ADVERBS. 
 
 Hina, added to many adjectives of quality and 
 to participles, forms their corresponding ad- 
 verbs, as : 
 
 Sinchi-hina . . Strongly, forcibly 
 
 Atoc-hina . . . Fox-like 
 
 Huayra-hina . . Quickly (as the wind) 
 
 Nina-hind . . Fiercely (as fire) 
 
 Caynin, with the prepositions joi or huan, is 
 another adverbial form, as : 
 
 Sinchi-cayninpi . . . Strongly 
 Llampu-cayninhuan . . Grently 
 
 Manta (the preposition) added to words, is a 
 common adverbial form, as : 
 
 Soncco-manta .... Heartily 
 Ghecamanta Perfectly 
 
 Lla, with the word twice repeated, forms an 
 adverb ; as sumac-sumaclla, beautifully. 
 
QUICHUA GRAMMAR. 59 
 
 CONJUNCTIONS. 
 
 The couplative conjunctions are pas, huam, 
 pashuam, and Imiampas ; as noca pas cam, you 
 and I. Tac, tacpas, huantac, mean " also". Ca, 
 ri, carta, ychaca, yallinrac, mean " but". Hi- 
 naspa, Jtinaca, are conjunctions concluding a sen- 
 tence, and mean " finally". Hinaspaca, there- 
 fore; hina, so; hinam, hinamcana, so that; 
 cayri, or, either. 
 
 ADDITIONAL KEMARKS. 
 
 The syntax, or construction of sentences, is 
 very simple. The concord of adjectives and sub- 
 stantives must be understood, as the former class 
 of nouns is indeclinable. The accusative is placed 
 first in a sentence; then the verb; and, lastly, 
 the nominative. When two nouns follow each 
 other, one depending on the other, the dependent 
 noun is placed first and in the genitive case, as 
 huasip puncu, the door of the house. Adverbs 
 are placed next to the verbs or nouns to which 
 
60 QUICHUA GEAMMAE. 
 
 they refer. To express the sentence " I am your 
 father", the pronoun is in the genitive, as campa 
 yayayquin cani. To say " It is better for me/ ; 
 the pronoun is in the dative, as nocapac asuan 
 allim cay. " It will be very painful to me", 
 nocapac llaqui cuyniycanman. Ablative, dative, 
 and indeed all oblique cases, are placed before 
 the nominative. 
 
 It will have been seen that the most remarka- 
 ble feature of the Quichua language is the power 
 of constructing words by means of affixes or 
 particles joined to the root, and thus providing 
 for the formation of innumerable words, and even 
 whole phrases. Du Ponceau called this mode 
 of composition polisynthesis ; and, as most of 
 the American languages possess this faculty, 
 he named them polisynthetic languages. Dr. 
 Max Muller, however, considers this peculiarity 
 to be nothing more than agglutination, as distin- 
 guished from the inflexion of the Aryan and 
 Semitic languages. He, therefore, groups the 
 American with the other languages which he 
 calls agglutinative (a name given by William von 
 Humboldt) in Asia and Africa, not because there 
 is the remotest indication of a common origin, 
 
QUICHUA GRAMMAR. 61 
 
 but from the absence of any organic differences 
 of grammatical structure. 
 
 No European language can describe an action 
 with anything like the precision and accuracy, 
 combined with brevity, of which Quichua is capa- 
 ble; and this wonderfully abundant vocabulary 
 produces great variety in composition. I have 
 considered it unnecessary to give every modifica- 
 tion of meaning of which a root is capable, in the 
 dictionary, because it would have swelled it to 
 undue proportions, while the foregoing rules 
 supply the necessary information upon this point. 
 
 The following Quichua words are now familiar 
 to all Englishmen, and, indeed, are incorporated 
 into our language : pampa, condor, puma, llarn^a, 
 alpaca, vicuna, guano, quina (quinine), coca, 
 ynca, and charqui (hence jerked beef) .

 NOTE 
 
 On the Language of the Indians op Pebtj. 
 
 (At the beginning of the Commentarios Beales of 
 Inca Garcilasso de la Vega.) 
 
 a.d. 1609. 
 
 For the better understanding of what, with the 
 blessing of God, we purpose to write in this history, 
 as we shall have to use many words in the general 
 language of the Indians of Peru, it will be well to 
 give some account of it. The accent is almost 
 always on the penultimate syllable, sometimes on the 
 ante-penultimate, but seldom or never on the last, I 
 have also to remark that in this general language of 
 Cuzco (of which I am speaking, and not of the dia- 
 lects of every province, which are innumerable), the 
 following letters are wanting — B, D, F, G, J, L 
 single, but they have the double LI. Nor have they 
 the letter X, so that they want six letters of the 
 Spanish a b c, and seven counting the single L. The 
 Spaniards, however, introduce these letters, thus 
 corrupting and injuring the language. To avoid this 
 corruption, it is lawful for me, as an Indian, to write 
 as one, and to use only the letters which the Indians 
 use in pronouncing their words ; and those who read 
 must not take this innovation ill, for that I should go 
 contrary to a bad custom, and write these words with 
 purity and precision, ought rather to give pleasure. 
 I should also mention that there is no plural in this 
 language, although there are particles which signify 
 the plural number. This language has many other 
 things very different from Spanish, Italian, or Latin ; 
 but it is certainly a pity that so expressive a tongue 
 should be lost or corrupted.

 REMARKS 
 
 ON THE 
 
 QUICHUA LANGUAGE, 
 
 In the Historia Antigua del Peru, by Don Sebastian 
 Lorente. 
 
 a.d. 1860. 
 
 Quichna is a language as admirable for force of 
 expression and richness in words, as for regularity in 
 its forms, and sweetness in sound. The terminations 
 cause a most energetic conciseness, expressing com- 
 plex ideas and whole conceptions with one noun or 
 verb, which in other languages would require a mul- 
 titude of words. The idea of plurality is denoted in 
 many ways, each appropriate to the particular cir- 
 cumstance ; sometimes with expressive terminations, 
 at others by a combination of words. The different 
 relationships are expressed in different words accord- 
 ing to' the person who speaks. The first person 
 plural distinguishes clearly whether we exclude or 
 include those who are addressed. A single expres- 
 sion marks whether the action of the verb relates to 
 the second or third person. Certain particles added 
 to nouns show at once to whom they belong. Other 
 terminal particles express interrogation, doubt, or 
 condition. Some have pretended that, as a language 
 of a simple people without scientific culture, Quichua 
 would be ill adapted to express metaphysical ideas 
 and even many moral conceptions, but the facility 
 with which translations of the Christian doctrine, of 
 some classical authors, of sermons, and of composi- 
 tions of all kinds, have been made, demonstrate the 
 contrary. In Quichua, the composition of sentences 
 is simple and regular; there is only one declension, 
 
NOTES. 195 
 
 and the cases are formed by the addition of preposi- 
 tions. One conjugation, complete in its voices, moods, 
 and tenses, serves for all the verbs, and is formed by 
 agglutinating the terminations to the root. The 
 syntax is very easy, the deed always preceding the 
 doer. The predominance of vowels makes the lan- 
 guage exceedingly sweet. It wants the letters double 
 R, single L, B, V, D, F, Gr, J, X, but there are sounds 
 expressed in our writings by CC, CK, PP, QQ, TT, 
 CHH, and other imperfect symbols, whence much 
 confusion has arisen. 
 
 FROM 
 
 The Antiguedades Peruanas of Don Mariano 
 E. de Eivero. 
 
 The Quichua language has a complete declension 
 formed by means of certain particles placed after the 
 noun. It has primitive personal pronouns, and also 
 possessive pronouns quite distinct from the personal, 
 and these are inseparable from the noun, and are al- 
 ways placed after it. The Quichua has a system of 
 numbers so complete that any arithmetical quantity can 
 be expressed by them. It has a very perfect form of 
 conjugation, and the moods and tenses are more com- 
 plete than in many of the most cultivated languages 
 of the ancient continent.

 POSTSCRIPT. 
 
 Note to page 6. To the list of Quictma grammars^ 1 must add one 
 mentioned by Barcia-Pinelo. " Juan de Vega. Arte e Rudirtientos de 
 Gramatica Quichua. Impreso en Lima." Juen de Vega was the name 
 of the physician who effected the first recorded cure by the use of 
 Chinchona bark, which he administered to the Countess of Chinchon, 
 the wife of the Viceroy of Peru. It is probable that the physician and 
 the author of the grammar were the same person. See Trubner's 
 " Bibliotheca Glottica," Addenda, p. 237.
