   • 1979, Irving Goldman, The Cubeo: Indians of the Northwest Amazon, Second Edition, University of Illinois Press, ISBN 978-0-252-00770-5, pages 42–3:

     The question of coresidence is of special interest in the Northwest Amazon region because among tribes that do not have sibs but are organized on the basis of patrilocal families it is coresidence rather than kinship that has been reported to be the governor of exogamy (Kirchoff, 1931).
