Incan Empire Subdivisions

I was doing a bit of research into the historical Incan Empire to see if there was information about the various region names given, and I found some interesting stuff.

The real Incan Empire was called Tawantinsuyu, which means "Four parts together", and was divided into four regions; Chincasuyu (NW), Antisuyu (NE), Kuntisuyu (SW), Qullasuyu (SE) - I should note I've seen the spellings of all these names vary; this is simply how Wikipedia lists them.

Considering we know that the Incan Empire has expanded to eight provinces, we can assume the name "Pusantinsuyo" means "eight parts together"? Only two provinces were named in Crucible of Gold; Collasuyo (Qullasuyu) and the fictional Chirisuyo, which extends from Collasuyu to the bottom of South America - "Chiri" could refer to the Chiri people, one of many who lived in the area, so we could assume the other three provinces have similar names.
