Comment 
EtymologyNamed after Otto von Buchwald (1843-1934) was an engineer, anthropologist, ethnographer, and philologist who spoke at least 12 languages and understood more. He left Germany for Peru (1869), where he studied early civilizations, leaving for California (1887) but never arriving, as he stopped offin Ecuador and was persuaded to stay to study indigenous dialects.
