Re: USAGE: Betreft: USAGE: Outstanding Features - Andean Family

There one thing that I forgot to mention: something that intruiges me.
There are certain interjections in Quechua that serve a special=20
cause:
achachaw is used to indicate that you are horrified or flabbergasted
ananaw is for shouting when you have pain
alalaw is for cold.
There are some more and I was told that they are not mixed.
I mean by that that if a child falls into very cold water, it cries: =
alalaw.
It won't cry achachaw or ananaw.
