Subject: [An-lang] verbs of carrying

I’m working on verbs of carrying in Longgu (Oceanic) and I wondered if anyone had any data on ‘carry’ verbs in other Austronesian languages (and especially Western Austronesian languages).

The two things that I’m most interested in are:

1.       Is there a verb for ‘carry on the head’ (and if so, what is it)?

2.       Are there modes of carrying that are (semantically) gender-based?  (i.e. women carry things in one way, men in another).

The verb for ‘carry something on the head’ in Longgu is SUNGI.

Thanks for your help!

Debbie
