Kari'na
Etymology
Likely from the ancestor of *kyko (first-person inclusive dual pronoun, root of modern kỳko), perhaps Proto-Cariban *kɨku, + Proto-Cariban *-jamo (collective suffix) + *rô (emphatic particle). Analogous forms in other Cariban languages are similarly formed from various dual/non-collective forms combined with various collective and emphatic suffixes in different orders; none, however, are constructed with exactly the same morphemes as the Kari'na term. Compare Apalaí kymarokomo, Trió kïmënjamo, Wayana kunmëlamkom, Hixkaryana kàwyamo, Waiwai kïwyam, Akawaio kïmyamro, Ye'kwana künwanno.
