The Ynca Lloque Yupanqui was the third of the Kings of Peru. His name of Lloque means left-handed. The neglect of his attendants in nursing him, which led to his becoming left-handed, was the reason of his receiving this name. The name of Yupanqui was given him for his virtuous actions. That the various idioms used by the Indians in the general language of Peru may be understood, it must be known that this word Yupanqui is the second person singular of the imperfect future of the indicative mood of a verb, and that it means “You will count.” In this one verb thus used by itself is enclosed and denoted all that can be said in praise of a prince. It is as much as to say—“You will count your great actions, your excellent virtues, your clemency, piety, gentleness, etc.” This is an elegant phrase in a language which has not many words, bat these words are very expressive; for in applying a noun or verb to their kings, these Indians made it comprehend all that could be understood by such noun or verb. Thus the word ccapac, which means rich, does not imply wealth in property, but in all the virtues which a good king can possess. But they did not speak of any one else in this way, not even of the greatest lords, but only of the kings, for they would not make common use of words that were applied to their Yncas.
