Reading edition
This word Peiembas is not Guaraní. It must be the Payaguás, one of the tribes occupying the right bank of the river Paraguay, to which Schmidt refers here, or perhaps the Mbaiàs, the tribe adjacent to them.
[110] Yaperús, a tribe of the Payaguás.
[111] The Peyssennas are the same as the Peiembas. I believe the author is referring to the Payaguás.
