Notas:

  • Etnográfica:
    Very rare to find these days, endangered animal. Many beliefs attached to it, main creature of Rama cosmology.
    Used for "gringos"!
  • Léxica:
    Often substitute Miskitu kruubu when talking about the animal, or even in the Adam stories, but not when talking about the Rama people or Cane Creek (Never Kruubu Rii). Not clear what their categorizations of the big cats are as they seem to cover three color variations of jaguar, plus pumas, plus ocelots, margays, and oncillas with the same terms, especially kruubu.

    The tiger has four big teeth to bite with.
    El tigre cuatro colmillos (dientes) grandes para morder con ellos.

Notas:

  • Etnográfica:
    Difficult to tell which cat is being referred to at times: jaguar, ocelot, puma, margay, or others. Not known how much they are recognized as different species, how much is due to use of kruubu vs. Rama auma, and how much is influenced by Rama stories. All the big cats central to their collective history and identity. Previously much more of a physical danger than now due to overhunting and habitat destruction. Previously a greater source of income (hides).
  • Léxica:
    Borrowed from Miskitu. See auma.
