E. Church in 1898. The name is a common derivative of Catuquina. Loukotka includes it among the Tupi languages, describing the people as Tupinized Catuquina. However, the little preserved vocabulary does not resemble that of the Tupi languages, Catuquinan languages, or Panoan languages (compare Panoan Catuquina). The following words are given by Loukotka: taka-su 'head saña 'tooth' punü 'hand' uhehü 'water' Bach reported that the Catuquinaru used a coded version of their language to communicate over distances of up to 1.5 km via drums called called cambarysus.[1][2] References1. ^Indian wireless system of communication, in [https://books.google.com/books?id=JZc2AQAAMAAJ Telegraph and Telephone Age: Telegraphy-telephony-radio] (1917), page 380 2. ^Richard Hennig, Telegraphensysteme der Naturvoelker, in Prometheus: Illustrierte Wochenschrift über die Fortschritte, volume 20, number 1013 (24 March 1909) Further reading
