Puruhá language
Puruhá is a poorly attested extinct language of the Marañón River basin in Ecuador which is difficult to classify, apart from being apparently related to Cañari, though it may have been Barbacoan. A grammar was reportedly written in the late 17th century; it appears to have been lost.
Family names frequently end in -cela or -lema, sich as Duchicela, the family of Atahualpa's mother Paccha Duchicela, and Daquilema, the surname of 19th-century rebel Fernando Daquilema. Endings of place names include -shi, -tus, and -bug. Some complex endings are -cahuan, -calpi, -tactu, which can occur with Quechua roots, as in Supaycahuan.
