* We may be surprised to find the word teot, denote the 

 eminently nutritive substance, that supplies the place of 

 corn (the gift of a beneficent divinity), and on which the sub- 

 sistence of man within the tropics depends. I shall mention

 signifies God (Teot l 9 properly Teo, for tl is only a termina- 

 tion), is found in the language of the Betoi of the Rio Meta. 

 The name of the Moon, in this language so remarkable for the 



f Has this word been introduced from a communication with

 word cacava. See my Essai Polity vol. ii, p. 435.
