<p class="MsoNormal">Dear Austronesianists, </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I am interested in identifying Austronesian languages with drink and eat verbs that are lexical specified for the item that is consumed. This is well-known in Oceanic languages, but I am looking for languages in other branches of the AN
family. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Examples illustrating the kinds of distinctions are as follows:</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Amis</b> specified drink and eat verbs:</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">minanum ‘drink water’ </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">miqenip ‘sip, drink (alcohol)’</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">mikaen ~ kaen ‘eat (in general), eat soup, drink milk’</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif;color:black;background:white">ŋ</span>os<span style="font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif;color:black;background:white">ŋ</span>os ‘eat raw food’</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Dumagat</b> specified eat verbs:</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">kan ‘eat (in general)’</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">ébu ‘eat meat’</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">malmal ‘eat rice’</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The only distinction that seems to go back any way is *qataq ‘eat something raw’ (ACD:
