peer agreement (net): +3ayoi [animal skin headdress] with string Explanation: Keep "ayoi" and put it in italics. The "ristra" is probably a string of feathers, but I wouldn't want to say that without further information or a picture. The "ayoi" is a head covering made of animal skin, usually jaguar skin, though not always jaguar, worn by the Ayoreo people of Paraguay: "1. El ayoi. El gorro de pieles animales premia el poder del guerrero, la habilidad del cazador y la fuerza y el coraje de ambos. Los jefes, llamados asuté, tienen derecho a usar la piel de jaguar; los varones de inferior jerarquía deben contentarse con pieles menos espléndidas y no tan hermosas [...]" See rest of description, on p. 53, and also the picture of two Ayoreo men wearing the ayoi, as well as feathers. http://bvp-org-py.lecom.com.py/biblio_htm/escobar_belleza_ot... "I'm going to put on my ayoi [jaguar headdress], and my cobia [vulture feather collar] will go with me to the grave" Lucas Bessire, Behold the Black Caiman: A Chronicle of Ayoreo Life, 74 https://books.google.es/books?id=5i-OBAAAQBAJ&pg=PA74&lpg=PA... |
