That was written < 1958, with data collected in 1949. What they're calling Kanoé/Mekéns is presumably Tupian, since the family is closely related enough that I seriously doubt Swadesh would get it wrong. At least, not unless there are massive Tupian loans in Kanoe. But they might be describing what Ethnologue calls Avá-Canoeiro rather than our Kapishana. If that's the case, then perhaps Warategáya and Amniape are alt. names of Awa Kanoe rather than of Kapishana Kanoe, and Ethn. got them mixed up? — kwami (talk) 22:08, 28 January 2014 (UTC)Reply
Campbell has Mekens/Amniape as a Tupari language, distinct from the Kanoe/Kapixana isolate. Eth.17 includes Mekens under Sakirabiá. The only good source on this language, Bacelar, gives only Kanoe and Kapixana as its names. I suspect Ethn. may be wrong in assigning the other names to this language, but they say that Kanoe and Mekens share another name, so maybe there's a more general confusion. — kwami (talk) 23:04, 28 January 2014 (UTC)Reply

Joseph H. Greenberg & Merritt Ruhlen 2007, An Amerind Etymological Dictionary: IX MACRO-TUCANOAN → C CAPIXANA: Capixana (= Kanoê of Kapishana [kxo isolate], and not Kanoê of Mekéns [skf Tuparí]). OK. Thanks, Kwami. --Kmoksy (talk) 12:31, 29 January 2014 (UTC)Reply
