1. DF-N: Cabrera’s use of two diacritical accents in one word — Ayámanú — is unorthodox for Spanish orthography. Her transliteration of this word is evidently meant to convey stress (i.e., “ah-YAH-ma-NOO,” “uh-YUH-muh-noo,” etc., but not “ah-yah-ma-NOO”). However, it is also possible that her use of diacritical marks slips between indicating stress and tonality. cf. Appendix 2 in Font-Navarrete (2021) and the Translator’s Notes in Cabrera (2023). ↑
