Noun

yaka

  1. spectacled (White or common) caiman, caimans, Caiman crocodilus.
    Yaka WEke. Ah, kawikaapapai ka jouhan! ... Yakakuma jano han!
    [He was a] gigantic caiman. Ah, [he] was terrifying indeed, that one! ....[The] Caiman Spirit, he was!
    Iye ejekujata ipitsi, ayakatapai umapai. EjekuJAtapai tonejunaun. Ipitsi ja umapai: ayakatawi.
    Kamani iya yaka okaho?
    Itsa ejekuJAtapai, ententsapai kupato. Ipitsi inyaun wi, kata inyaun, kata enojanaun, iya ayakata, umakonapai yiu whun, iya ententsapai papisulu.
    [Mayanu:] When someone goes to await [someone] — that's what ayakatapai means. [When men] wait [patiently] a long time for women. That's what we call ayakatapai.
    [Anthropologist asks why the word mentions the caiman.]
    [Kaomo:] That's how [caimans] wait, motionless — they're on the lookout for fish. So [you say the] same thing about those people, those men, who go to await their lovers, [who stand alert and motionless], waiting for [the] women [to come out of their houses].
