Continent Names

Ideas for the light green/South America analogue.

Some Quechua-inspired ideas (for pronunciation, stress goes on the penultimate syllable; it's TAco, not taCO.):
- Runa - From the word for "people", [Runa llaqta].
- Alpa or Aipa - From the word for "land", [Allpa].
- Cararca - From the phrase "to feed thousands of people", [Pachan qararqan].
- Colcaya or Coicaya - From the word for "fertile", "lush", or "wealthy", [Qollqeyoq].
- Cumir or Caimir - From the word or "green", [Q'umir].

Some Aymara-inspired ideas (honestly, no clue how this language is pronounced but assuming it's similar, so use the rule above.):
- Utana - From the word for "homes", [Utanakasa].
- Usuri - From the word for "abundant", "wealthy", or "bountiful", [Usuri].
- Cawaia or Cawaya - From the word for "vast" or "wide", [Qawaya].


Or just choose a random Aztec or Incan god[dess] and use that. Whichever.
So what all did we decide of these things?

Also, along the same vein as the names, how would the people that live in these areas like to come up with the names of stuff for their local geographical features, and describe the local biospheres and particulars of their climates? I know we have some general descriptions of the continents at large, but maps and descriptions like that would be cool.
