EP 223: Ecuador Wings of Ash, The Shuar Goddess of the Earth (Conde)
#ecuador #folklore
\nToday we are back in the book of Ecuadorian folklore written down by Mario Conde. A big thank you to him for letting me record these stories. In the first story, we learn about the origin of biting insects. In the second story, from deep in the amazon, we learn about how the Shuar women learned to grow crops.

\nPodcast Shoutout: The Vocal Fries. Hosts Carrie and Megan are deep in the world of linguistics and language. They also care deeply about people and want to see marginalized voices not be silenced through discrimination. Also, they know that having two women as hosts will drive jerks who care more about who is talking than what is said crazy. So if you want to learn about cool voices, vocal discrimination, and how young women often lead language change, go and give them a listen.
\nListener Shoutout: Zalec (Xa-Lets) Slovenia. From Wikipedia- \u017dalec was attested in written sources as Saxenburc and Sachsenwelde in 1182 (and as Saschenvelde in 1232 and Sachsenfelde in 1256). The medieval German names are based on folk etymology from the Slovene name, probably the genitive of the plural form *\u017dalci. This in turn was based on the personal name *Zal and would mean 'descendants of \u017dal'. In modern German the settlement was known as Sachsenfeld.
