Inca
The term functions as both a proper noun and a proper adjective. When used as a noun, it can refer to the specific sovereign ruler of the empire or to any member of the ethnic group. In historical texts, the distinction between the Sapa Inca (the emperor) and the general population is often implied by context or specific titles.
As an adjective, it describes cultural artifacts, architectural styles, or historical events associated with this civilization. Because it is derived from a proper name, it is consistently capitalized regardless of its grammatical role in a sentence.
