I used Dr Richard Porrata's "Keeping the Taino Language Alive" to make past tense and adjectives. Hopefully, this makes sense. Taino words for Convicted FELON. #taino

It's a spoken language. So you have to approach it in various ways and form to see what makes sense.

Both names could be. Arabo is a perennial tree, ara also means people, Amon could be a derivation of Amona, which means land.
