karanderu

== Old Tupi == === Etymology === Borrowed from Portuguese carneiro (“ram”), influenced by a Guarani language. A more expected adaptation would be *karaneru; the realization of /n/ as [ⁿd] can be explained by the known Guarani influence on Língua Geral Paulista, as is quite noticeable in kambarara (in Língua Geral Amazônica, kamarara). === Pronunciation === IPA(key): /kaɾaneˈɾu/ Rhymes: -u === Noun === karanderu (unpossessable) (Língua Geral Paulista) (hapax legomenon) sheep ==== Descendants ==== →? Portuguese: Carandiru === References === anonymous author (18th century), “Ovelha”, in Língua geral dos índios das Américas [General language of the Indians of the Americas]‎[1] (overall work in Portuguese and Língua Geral Paulista), page 5, line 303: “caranderû”
