I think one of our fellow listeros hit the nail on the head.
We in anthropology talk of "Inca", "Maya" and "Aztec", but our brethren in the
editing profession insist on "Incan", "Mayan", "Aztecan".
Archaeologists talk of "sherds", everyone else talks of "shards".
So I suppose it is an in-group sign? If you say "Inca", or "Maya", we know
you are more hip?
