Malacachoa

[Magnus Pharao Hansen]

Listeros,

Again Canger's Five Studies leads us on the way. She shows that the -oa
ending comes from earlier -i:wa which means that there must have once been
a verb pair called *malacachi:wa (transitive) and *malacachiwi
(intransitive), these could be derived from malaca + chiwa "make/do"
through a noun incorporation. Malacachtic is obviously derived from the
verb.

best,
Magnus
