摘要：This article results from a long process of recording and reflection on the names of Ye'pa-Di'iro-Mahsã groups and subgroups, indigenous people located in the region of the upper Rio Negro, widely known as Tukano. The main objective is to specify the complex internal structure of the Ye'pa Di'iro Mahsã group, one made up of heterogenous blocks of patriclans, seeking to elucidate this structure from the mythical narratives of origin and diversification of humanity. It presents the different types of names and naming forms, as well as their articulation and enunciation circumstances. In addition, a hypothesis is suggested to explain the use of inter-generational kinship terms as a form of treatment between named units located in different blocks. The data presented was compiled by a native author over several years, with the main purpose of promoting the use of the proper name of the group and its internal segments.
