On the meaning of the Quechua word "manco" and the name Manco Qhapaq

Abstract

From oral information about the word 'manco' provided by an informant and Quechua speaker from Ayacucho I connect here it with another sources -and current knowledge about social organization of Inka in Cuzco- for a proposed elucidation of the name as component of royal title of founder of royal Inka 'dinasty', Manco Qhapaq.
