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

39. Mabuyas, Abuyas, Poyas, Poyay of North and South America.

40. Cofachis, Cofachis or Cowetas of North America?

41. Apalachis, Apalaches, Yamasis of North America.

42. Mayoriex or Ziguayos, Mayas, Guayos of Chaco.

43. Cons, Chons and Yana-Conas of Peru, Conos of Chaco, Conivos and Conamas of South America.

44. Els or Ili (children), Eles and Ols of Mexico, Yoales or Vilelas and Lules or Pelé of Chaco.

Thus, how gratuitous was the common opinion that only one nation filled the Antilles. Meantime we find nowhere in these annals that name of Antilia, which in their language would have been Anti-ili sons of Antes, or Ana-ti-ili flower-high-children. It may be a Lybian name like Atlantes, both referring to the Antis or Anteus, the early inhabitants of North Africa, and of Peru.
