Etymology of name – possible exonym[edit]

Might the name Nambikwara be an exonym from a Tupian language? It lines up with the Old Tupi word nambi, ear, and morpheme -ûara/kûara, often meaning either eater or hole, and there are several groups neighboring the Nambikwara that speak Tupian languages.

I've looked into it more (aka, single Google search) and it seems that this is in fact the case – the name refers to their pierced ears. Will add to main page as soon as I find a reputable source. Astronomyfortwo (talk) 22:58, 16 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
