sara’ap sanana

Posted on April 11, 2020 by bahasasula_3n5une

‘to turn on (a light)’
source: entry from Holle List; unable to verify c. 1900 note: sara ap is to turn on a light (lit. ‘burn fire’). It is unclear what sanana means here. This form might hint at the historical meaning of the name Sanana. Perhaps it is named with regard to light, similar to 日本
