Er, would that be Arawak/Maipurean or (Macro-)Arawakan? The terminology is a mess…

Does anybody else want to guess? If not, I'll just post the answer tomorrow and ask Darren to post the next text, as he got the closest.

I stopped guessing because I'd already checked all the readily available info on Arawakan languages and found nothing with /ʋ/. Does the <ʋ> represent /ʋ/?

Edit - is it a Kampan language?

The <ʋ> represents [w~β~ʋ]. The transcription is mostly phonemic, but in this case phonetic. And no, it's not a Campa language.
