[From data colleded in 1961 by Wilbur Pickering] O velho Pajé, com cerca de 90 anos, cuja mente se tem embotado devido à idade e ao uso excessivo de cachaça, não foi capaz de lembrar qualquer palavra da língua que sabia quando criança. O Pajé atual, com cerca de 65 anos, também o atual líder da aldeia, não se lembrou de nenhuma. No entanto, duas mulheres, Maria Dias dos Santos e Maria Inácia Tuxá dos Santos, excluídas da tribo, vivendo agora em Juazeiro, Bahia, puderam fornecer cerca de 30 palavras. [The old Shaman, with about 90 years, whose mind has been dulled due to age and excessive use of liquor, was not able to remember any word of the language he knew as a child. The current Shaman, about 65 years old, also the current leader of the village, did not remember any. However, two women, Maria Dias dos Santos and Maria Ignacia Tuxá dos Santos, expelled from the tribe, now living in Juazeiro, Bahia, could provide about 30 words.]
