Resumen
The basic vocabulary of Moseten is compared with those of Uru and Amuesha with positive results, and the same is the case in a comparison of the basic vocabularies of Panotacanan and Arawakan. The last connection runs counter to the classifications of both Greenberg and Swadesh, and it is suggested that these classifications may be seriously misleading in that significantly more inclusive groupings than those previously recognized might be doubtful.
El propósito de este trabajo es explorar la hipótesis sobre las posibles relaciones genéticas de la lengua mosetén, restringiendo la comparación a la lista del vocabulario básico de Swadesh. La relación del mosetén con el panotacano parece ser segura pero no con otros grupos.
