Interesting that the Aymara term for future is nayra timpu. The latter word is obviously a loan from Spanish tiempo. Wonder what the older word for time in Aymara was? (Also, here's an article by Núñez and Sweetser on the Aymara concept of time.)
This diccionario Aymara-Español lists pacha as the Aymara for tiempo. Nary a timpu in sight.
