Krĩkatí is closely related to Pykobjê, but differs from it in lacking the velar nasal phoneme /ŋ/ (as in cahã ‘snake’, hõr ‘to sleep’, corresponding to Pykobjê cagã, gõr)[3]:22, 158 as well as the fricative allophone of /j/ (which is realized as [s ~ ʃ] in the coda position in Pykobjê, but as [j] in Krĩkatí).[3]:21
There is a Krĩkatí-Portuguese dictionary by a New Tribes Mission missionary.[4]
