The Aymara have a way to make guesses. Often begin with words ... Kuna Kuna translated and adapted to the English equivalent to What is ... what is it? What are ... what are they? Who is ... who? Who are ... who are they? (Take into account that I adapted to the English because the translation of the questions asked in Castilian is also varied in Aymara). Many times you come to personify things, plants, natural phenomena, geographical features, anyway. So you will be called elder, brother, wife and mistress of the mountain, river, potatoes and calls respectively. Another aspect to consider is that the translations that follow, in some cases, they have had to interpret for the proper understanding of the reader.
