<i>salpiy</i> could be from Palau which in its turn could have borrowed from the west.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Before I summarise them for the group I have another related question. I'm looking at Visayan words for post-contact products that don't appear to be loaned from contact languages. Specifically, I'm interested in the lexifying strategies
brought to the task, eg, metaphor, metonym, description etc.<o:p></o:p></p>
