The comments here (not yours, dicytea) are really confusing. There are three comments about Japanese although the article clearly states that they live in the Amazon rainforest. Are those AI bots?

Doesn't seem to be bots. Maybe it's just that Japanese phonetics are so limited, that any word that has a possible pronunciation in Japanese becomes a Japanese word in their mind. Funny pattern matching error.

I have also on (very) rare occasion used Japanese to clear up a pronunciation thing, because of the variety in English. The one that mentions Google Translate I figure probably was doing that, which I kinda took as "...maybe it could be..?" and just wanted to clarify something in my original comment, which I figure added to the confusion in further comments. I tried to keep it clear I wasn't sure it actually was Japanese but I guess that didn't stick.
