The American Nations, Vol. I. / Or, Outlines of a National History of the Ancient and Modern Nations of North and South America

by C. S. Rafinesque

We have an example of negative verbs in Macabuca I do not care, which is Macabuca not-care, or never-mind; in French n'importe, in Italian non curo.

Of the syntax we may form an idea by the few preserved phrases; which I have analyzed as follow, and compared with the Italian.

1. Teitoca thou be quiet. Tacitu Italian.

tocheta much. molto.

zinato angry. irato.

Guame-chyna this great God. gran-Nume.

2. Gua-ibba that go. Vai It.

zinato angry. irato.

macabuca not care. non curo.

3. Dios Spanish God. Dio It.
