About the Riquelme surname

Riquelme family ,mainly in South America ,although believed to be of Gothic or Vandal origin,
may have ancestry related to Ariquem tribe in Mato Grosso,near the town named after them ,
spelled also Ariqueume ,which may be an imperfect pronounciation of Ariquelme ,
as it is in that region for example with Paumari,who are Palmari too ,and in many Portuguese
words in general .

They are related to Karitiana and Cabixiana tribes,and according to the generally accepted view ,
they would be at least of part of Tupí origin ,while some early reports might have claimed them to
be of Tapoaya ,and by that of Cabixi relations .
This Cabixiana tribe may be descended from a member of the Shi dynasty of Gao in Africa ,
at river Niger ,called Ana-Kabi .
The dynasty was founedd,at least under this name,by the sons of a previous Za king ,or Zuwa ,Yisibuya .
He may be the ancestor of Juaicipuya ( Zhuwa-Yisibuya ) tribe in Xingú region ,identified with
the present-day Xipaya .
They too are believed to be of mixed Tupí ancestry.

Songhay people in Gao may be of Lyd-Tyrrhén origin,and is related to the group called Dendi too .
There is a Dendi tribe also among the Kamaka peoples of the Atlantic coast in Brazil ,or was some day ,
who may be related to the previous,and ,together with other ones,may be the successors of early
voluntary immigrants from Africa .
Menian tribe for instance might have come from Niamey ( Nian-Mey ) ,now the capital of Niger .

Yisibuya's son was ,according to the Arabian interpretation of the Arabian script of the chronicle,
as I understand ,cAli Kolom,who created the Shi or Sonni title . It is not impossible ,that his name
should rather be read cAli Kelme ,or ,more precisely,Ar-Gal-Ikelme .
In this case ,he would be the namesake ancestor of the tribe Arike(l)me .
The more recent ruling families of Niger might have descended from Kayenna-Shanna-Yanna-Ba ,
spelled Kayna Shunyunbu among others ,who appears to be identical with Te-Uruaki-Ole-Kayenna-Ba-Yanna ,
ancestor of Mongol royals,and with Te-Uruaki-Kena ,king of the Pascua Island,and with Ken-Arok ,
ruler of Indonesia .
Ken Arok can be interpreted as Ka-In Arauka ,that is Inca of Arauca - the river in Venezuela - ,
while Uruak name might have been preserved by Uruak tribe also in that country,whose language
appears to be quite closely related to Araucanaian spoken in Chile and Argentina .

The name of Titu Roca ,the Inca ancestor of Manco Inca of Cuzco ,also seems to refer to this idea ,
as Didu Arauca .
His grandson,Manco ,the founder of Chima Panaca - that may rather be Che-Mapu-Inaca - may
be identical with Yama Dad of Gao and with Mari Dyatta of Son-Mali .
According to the latter's tradition ,Mari Dyatta could not walk until his age of about 10 years,
when a crutch made of iron was given to him to lean on .Crutch means Manko in Hungarian .
This event might be reflected in the name Taycanamu ,that could be interpreted in Araucanian as
Ta-Inca-Nhamunh ,that is The Foot Supporter,or Manko .
He gained the title Chimor Capac too ,and may hence be identical with Manko ,the Chima clan's leader .
So it is possible ,that chief Kamakan and other tribes,included the Ariqueume ,are descended from
Manko Inka .

It is known,that in their realm only the Inca family was allowed ,by themselves ,
to wear fur of bat on their clothes .
This may be one of the reasons their successsors in the jungles,
were called Morcego by the Portuguese settlers,or by themselves too,after learning in Portuguese .
Kamakan chiefs might also belong to the Morcego ,as written above,which may also be shown by the fact ,
that Massacara tribe's - a tribe pertenecent to that alliance -,main place was called Saco Do Morcego .

Not all the royal descendants might have returned to the Holy Land of America ,
some might have remained and continued to rule in Africa ,and others might have reached
at the occasion of renewed African invasions ,also the Iberian peninsula .
German languages are the Levitic dialects of the tribe of Ar-Ge-Mar-Rem-Ma ,to whom also
the priests in the Hiero-Solyma temple belonged .
