Etymology 3 from Carib?[edit]

Donselaar (cited after cognates) and SIL suggest the root word is Carib karapa (Carapa guianensis).--Appolodorus1 (talk) 09:18, 1 April 2022 (UTC)Reply

@Appolodorus1: do you mean the Carib language? It’s certainly plausible; I note that the English Wikipedia article says “Due to contact with Kari'nja invaders, some languages have Kari'nja words incorporated into them, despite being Arawakan languages linguistically.” I can update the entry later. — SGconlaw (talk) 10:41, 1 April 2022 (UTC)Reply
@SGconlaw: Yes, I mean the Carib language :) --Appolodorus1 (talk) 14:17, 1 April 2022 (UTC)Reply
@Appolodorus1: OK.  Done. — SGconlaw (talk) 20:35, 1 April 2022 (UTC)Reply
