## [ulluco](https://incaglossary.com/u/ulluco.md)

, ulluku,
papalisa, atuqpa ullukun: (n) *Ullucus tuberosus*. The roots are
a common carbohydrate food. An infusion of the whole plant is taken as
an expectorant and aid in childbirth. [REPC] The major
appeal of the ulluco is its crisp texture which remains even when
cooked. Because of its high water content, the ulloco is not suitable
for frying or baking but it can be cooked in many other ways like the
potato. In the pickled form, it is added to hot sauces. It is the main
ingredient in the classic Peruvian dish "olluquito con charqui." Oblong
and thinly shaped, they grow to be only a few inches long. Varying in
color, tubers may be orange/yellow in color with red/pink/purple
freckles. In Bolivia, they grow to be very colorful and decorative,
though with their sweet and unique flavor they are rarely used for
decoration. When boiled or broiled they remain moist and the texture
and flavor are very similar to the meat of the boiled peanut without
the skin but unlike the boiled peanut becoming soft and mushy the
ulluco remains firm and almost crunchy. [WIKI]

(n) The ulluchu fruit is laden with symbolism, usually appearing in
artworks in scenes relating to war and the ritual drinking of a
prisoner's blood, a common practice in the Moche culture. One theory
suggests that the ulluchu, part of the papaya family with anticoagulant
properties, is useful in forestalling blood clotting before a
prisoner's blood was consumed. [WHR]

(n) A crab deity of Moche culture with the head and legs of a human and
the carapace, legs, and claws of a crab, the gilded gold piece is more
than two feet tall. This enigmatic figure with raised arms was once
mounted on a fabric banner covered with gilded metal plates. (See black

yielded some of the first graphic samples of this ancient fruit ever
discovered. (*See*,

was not available, they crushed the cord between two stones. Then the
cord would dry off and fall, but in it remained some magical powers
which they held in high esteem. In fact, they kept the dry umbilical
cord with great care and gave it to the child to suck every time it was
ill. It had to be the baby's own, otherwise it had no effect. [DYE]

## [Umiña](https://incaglossary.com/u/umina.md)

come out of the water, quite often for the purpose of copulating with
humans or of stealing a partner to be taken to their underwater world.
The yacuruna are very often associated and even identified with the [bufeos](https://incaglossary.com/b/bufeocolorado.md) (freshwater dolphins,
considered malignant beings) and the mermaids also with [anacondas](https://incaglossary.com/a/anaconda.md) (water boas). [There is] an

## [Uros](https://incaglossary.com/u/uros.md)

people who fashioned and live on these islands. People have been living
on these islands for many centuries. [IGMP] The Uros
originally created these artificial islands to escape the Inca, who
dominated the mainland at the time. Around 3,000 descendants of the
Uros are alive today, although only a few hundred still live on and
maintain the islands; most have moved to the mainland, where their
children go to school. The Uros also bury their dead on the mainland.
The islets are made of [totora](https://incaglossary.com/t/totora.md) reeds,
which grow in the lake. The dense roots that the plants develop support
the islands. They are anchored with ropes attached to sticks driven
into the bottom of the lake (see far right of picture below). The reeds
at the bottoms of the islands rot away fairly quickly, so new reeds are
added to the top to compensate. The islands last about 30 years. Food
is cooked with fires placed on piles of stones. To relieve themselves,
tiny 'outhouse' islands are near the main islands. The waste is dried
in the sun to avoid polluting the water. [WEAD]

## [uta, anti-onccoy, andongo, huccuc-uncuy, espundia, jacuya, huscu-ussu](https://incaglossary.com/u/uta.md)

(n) A
type of American leishmaniasis, is a very old Peruvian disease, found
practically only in the area of the [Inca Empire](https://incaglossary.com/t/tawantinsuyu.md). It produces corroding ulcers about the nose and lips which
are very difficult to heal and which, if cured, leave the most
mutilating sequelae, comparable to leprosy. There was no cure, although
there are some remedies to alleviate it. The Spanish called it “cancer
of the Andes.” It was also called anti-onccoy because it was a disease
of the [Antisuyu](https://incaglossary.com/a/antisuyu.md). It was renamed decades
after the Conquest by [Gonzales Holguin](https://incaglossary.com/appendix/m#diego)
who called it *huccuc-uncuy* [DYE] All these
[different names] are probably one and the same disease to which the
different aborigines gave distinct names. According to the opinion of
the physicians who best know these regions . . . they are all nothing
else but *phagademic ulcer of hot countries*. [Apparently this
was quite a controversial diagnosis because it was not specific enough
to suit the doctors of the era (1910). Breaking the word down into its
two Greek roots, we get *phage*, something that eats, *demic*,
from *demos*, people. From the roots of the word and the picture,
it does seem to be some kind of flesh-eating infection. -- Patt].
