Lima
Borrowed fromSpanishLima, in turn, borrowed fromClassical QuechuaLimaq(“the one who speaks”), cognate with modernQuechuarimaq, from the name of a sanctuary identified as theHuaca de Santa Ana. The variation of /r/ > /l/ is product of the former "coastal" variety of Quechua spoken around modern-day Lima. The drop of final /q/ could be attributed either to another characteristic of Coastal Quechua or to Spanish adaptation. Ultimately, a derviation fromrimay(“to speak”).
