*tapakonla[1]
Reconstruction notes[edit]
- This term could not have referred to peach, as this was a European introduction, but instead would have referred to a similar wild fruit. Though what fruit that may have been is unknown as all descendants refer to peach and the original meaning is therefore not reconstructible.
