Crossword-Solution: JAPUR 5 letters, 1 clue 🏆 scrabble score: 14

Many of the Ega Indians, including all the domestic servants, are savages who have been brought from the neighbouring rivers; the Japurá, the Issá, and the Solimoens.

Hordes of the same tribe living on the same branch rivers, speak mutually unintelligible languages; this happens with the Miránhas on the Japurá, and with the Collínas on the Jurúa; whilst Tupí is spoken with little corruption along the banks of the main Amazons for a distance Of 2500 miles.

The only large body of them now extant are located on the Japurá, at a place distant about 150 miles from Ega: the population of this horde, however, does not exceed, from what I could learn, 300 or 400 persons.

The river scenery about the mouth of the Japurá is extremely grand, and was the subject of remark amongst the passengers.

The products of the Japurá are sarsaparilla, copaiba, rubber, cacao, farina, Brazil nuts, moira-piránga--a hard, fine-grained wood of a rich, cherry-red color--and carajurú, a brilliant scarlet dye.
