"de'kwana" meaning in All languages combined

See de'kwana on Wiktionary

Noun [Ye'kwana]

IPA: [deʔkʷana]
Etymology: Traditionally interpreted to mean ‘canoe people’ or ‘water log people’, from dee (“wood, tree”) + kwawö (“at (an aquatic object)”) + -ana (“people”) or similar components; however, in the modern language aquatic postpositions of the kw- series can only be used with bodies of water, and folk etymology may be at issue. Gongora (2017) additionally denies that a suffix -ana exists in Ye'kwana, though it is found in related languages and de Civrieux explicitly claims to the contrary that such a suffix does exist. Alternatively, the term may be derived from the proper name De'kwana occurring in Ye’kwana mythology. Monterrey (2012) additionally notes that some older Ye’kwana claim the term de'kwana to mean people ‘of the Amazon River dolphin’, the ordinary name for which is, however, muna.
