Sentences with CARIBAL (2)
They were cannibals, and it is to them that we owe that word, Columbus's _Caribal_ being transformed into _Cannibal_ in apparent reference to the _canine_ voracity of the Caribs.
They were understood to have the habit of eating their fellow-men; and it is from a corruption of Caribal that we have the opprobrious term “cannibal.” Whether they did limit their diet to the orthodox fare or not, is by no means clear; for the Spanish conquerors did not scruple to indict, condemn, and put to death the innocent natives who opposed them,—and no stouter opponents than the Caribs did they find.
