sa, napi

Posted on April 11, 2020 by bahasasula_3n5une

‘sago tree’
source: entry from Holle List; unable to verify c. 1900 note: sa is verified as ‘sago’. I repeatedly collected sa kau as ‘sago tree’. It is unclear what napi means here. I have only collected it with a verbal prefix ba- meaning ‘to shoot’.
