In Utakassí:
Kinabássi = Pre-linguistic infant (note: in the "animals associated with
people" gender)
Natabí/Tisistá = Boy/Girl - also means male slave/female slave
Sunasapidí = Lit. "Young person", a relatively recent word, coined to
specify specifically "child", as opposed to "slave"
Sumaulási = Adolescent, literally "half-adult"
