Rimanakuy:Mallku

Hi, Cati, Mallku in runa simi means president and "mallku pata", means bird, in the page named "malku" talks about a birh when the correct must be "malku pata", please i dont know how to move mallku to mallku pata, i think that you can help me. -- Rafaelkelvin (Copy from Ruraq rimanakuy:CaTi0604, Topic "Mallku")

Hi Rafaelkelvin, it's not so easy to decide about mallku. According to Teofilo Laime Ajacopa's Bolivian Quechua dictionary [1] (pdf) mallku in the meaning you are thinking of is explained as follows "mallku (<A). Kamachiq apu. s. Presidente, -ta. Quien preside o gobierna." and originally stems from the Aymara language. In the Cusco region mallku has the meaning of chicken (es: pollo) [2] (pdf) and in the Ayacucho region mallqu means baby bird [3] (pdf)(Clodoaldo Soto Ruiz, Quechua dictionary: Mallqu. 281. n. Baby bird. n. Pichón. i.Manaraq paway atiq uña urpitucha. A young bird that is not able to fly yet. Pichón que todavía no puede volar. ii. Mallqucha kasqanmantam kay chiwakuchataqa uywarqani. I kept this thrush since it was a baby bird. Crié este zorzalito desde que fue un pichón. iii. Chiwchi. Chick. Pollito). In certain regions mallku (or mallqu) may also mean "condor" or "eagle".

Maybe we should replace mallku by chiwchi or chipchi.

Mallku paka (next expression in Laime's dictionary) means "chick of an eagle" ("mallku paka, anka mallku, anka irpa. s. Aguilucho. Cría del águila") and not just chick (I mean baby bird) as you suggested. I suppose you meant mallku paka and not malku pata. In this article Mallku you wrote "Mallqu Kapa". Are you infected by the error-virus, too? ;-)
