swim’ and is not used to refer to boars. But let me point out one
important thing that wildboards do during the fruit season in the jungle, that
is moving in herds and swimming in the rivers to reach the fruit areas. Have a
look at the follow from a book of an anthropologist who studied animal and
human behavior in <st1:place w:st="on">Borneo</st1:place>. http://books.google.com.au/books?id=tI477-njXEQC&pg=PA253&lpg=PA253&dq=musim+babi+berenang&source=bl&ots=oAOvzZSP8M&sig=TM8pw0qKqlFMEc9yB3lOADyCPbQ&hl=en&ei=Y5AITJPvJ4qCOPedxAE&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=1&ved=0CAgQ6AEwAA#v=onepage&q=musim%20babi%20berenang&f=false<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Calibri><span style='font-size:11.0pt'>I’m
taking a look at a book on the (Malayic) Akit speech variety (<st1:PlaceName
w:st="on">Rupat</st1:PlaceName> <st1:PlaceType w:st="on">Island</st1:PlaceType>,
<st1:PlaceName w:st="on">Riau</st1:PlaceName> <st1:PlaceType w:st="on">Coast</st1:PlaceType>,
<st1:place w:st="on"><st1:City w:st="on">Sumatra</st1:City>, <st1:country-region
w:st="on">Indonesia</st1:country-region></st1:place>). Although it is a
fairly straightforward Malay variety, not too weird lexically, phonologically or
morphologically, one word really threw me: <i><span style='font-style:italic'>nanguy</span></i>
‘pig’. PMP *<i><span style='font-style:italic'>nanguy</span></i>
‘swim’ comes immediately to mind (cf. also PMP *<i><span
style='font-style:italic'>babuy</span></i> ‘pig’). Now
Malayic innovated all PMP -*<i><span style='font-style:italic'>uy</span></i>
diphthongs to <i><span style='font-style:italic'>i</span></i>, e.g. <i><span
style='font-style:italic'>babi</span></i> ‘pig’, etc. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Calibri><span style='font-size:11.0pt'><o:p> </o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Calibri><span style='font-size:11.0pt'>I
do not see any phonological innovations in Akit which could have produced such
a diphthong, but neither can I imagine a semantic path from a possibly
pre-Malayic, substratal <i><span style='font-style:italic'>nanguy</span></i> ‘swim’
to ‘pig’. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
