Classification
Based on this, Jacinto Jijón y Caamaño classified it as a Jivaroan language. Kaufman states that there is "little resemblance", but Adelaar finds the connection reasonable. In addition to these four words are toponyms, which commonly end in -anga, -numa, -namá. The latter two suggest the Jivaroan locative case suffix -num ~ -nam, and Torero notes that the last resembles Aguaruna namák 'river' as well.Mason also lists Malacata as an alternate name for Palta.
