This and that, the core adjectives, four kinds of beauty, food and flavor, and the suffix system that makes Shipibo description precise.
with Kaná, the macaw — keeper of colors and beauty
I, you, we; whose things are whose; plurals; and the river geography that shapes who is who in the Shipibo world.
with Xáwe, the turtle-gentleman — people, respect, good manners
What are you doing? Word order, everyday verbs, doing things to things, and wanting — the module where sentences come alive.

The system that makes Shipibo Shipibo: announce an action, do it along the way, complete it fully. The engine of the language — and of its songs — taught through single attested lines.
with Chána, the eloquent bird — the speaker's companion
