Recently when looking through a referential grammar of Aymara language I've noticed that Aymara word for 'mountain' (qullu) looks a bit like reflection of the Aymara word for 'heart' (lluqu), and so I envisioned two mirrors facing each other and having inside a heart and a mountain range as reflection of each other, since mountains in general are very close to my heart :3
Additionally, if Lyle Campbell is right that the Quechuan word 'urqu' for mountain may be related to Aymara 'qullu' through metathesis (if the two languages are really related at all, naturally), then perhaps at some time in the past the two aforementioned Aymaran words looked even more similar;
No wine can compete with water from a mountain stream drunk after a long period of tiring climbing <3
Soon, if everything goes right, I'll have an opportunity to visit mountains again (not so high as Andes which I've never seen in person, but still) :3
