Internationalization of ayahuasca, 2011 p. 143 ("Preference is given to the term ayahuasca, in order to avoid the confusion that would be caused by alternating between terms like shori, huni, miyabu, kàhi (their equivalents in Yaminawa, Kaxinawá, Huaorani, Yekuana) etc. Sometimes yagé (the term in Tukano, also much used in literature) and cipó (the Brazilian term) are also used.")
