Is there any relation to the Spanish word for peanut in Peru and surrounding countries, maní? In Mexico and Spain the word is cacahuate. This page says peanut comes from Taíno, which would have been close to the Tupy tribe, right? The peanut article doesn't shed any light into this subject. I was just wondering because there's no Spanish version of this article, and the Spanish word for manioc is normally yuca. Editfromwithout (talk) 17:36, 15 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
You can, of course, see the relation: manioc. Interestingly, the Mexican word for Manioc came from Nahuatl cuauhcamohtli. Pretty similar to cacahuate, no? Editfromwithout (talk) 17:39, 15 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
