postmodernism, OTism, continent-ism

This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

Well... I'm Brazilian, also. Amerindians from Brazil
(tupi, guarani, caiapo, txucarramae, etc) are not the
same -- language-wise -- with the Peruvian/ Andean
Incas, who spoke quechua. "Apu-Punchau" sounds a lot
like quechua (see, for instance, the name of the
historical site -- "Macchu-Pichu", "old mountain", or
the native leader Tupac Amaru). And, by the way, the
Typhon mountains seem a lot like the Andes, IMO.
BTW: if I'm not mistaken,  "p=E2=80=99unchau" means "day" or
"time" in quechua. And "apuc" means "chief". "Pampa"
is also a quecha word.

My better guess is that Apu Punchau is somewhat
related with the Incans. Ergo, the Commonwealth is
South American.
