Note 155-2 — Chapter V
Reading edition
The latter is a compound of tici or ticcu, a vase, and ylla, the root of yllani, to shine, yllapantac, it thunders and lightens. The former is from tici and cun or con, whence by reduplication cun-un-un-an, it thunders. From cun and tura, brother, is probably derived cuntur, the condor, the flying thunder-cloud being looked upon as a great bird also. Dr. Waitz has pointed out that the Araucanians call by the title con, the messenger who summons their chieftains to a general council.
