<DIV><BR></DIV><TT>Fritz,<BR><BR>In Amele (Papuan) *jobon* 'village' is the
equivalent to English *home* <BR>rather than *jo* 'house'. If you say *ija
jobon nuigina* lit. "I am going <BR>village" it means "I am going home'. In
Amele 'home' is being amongst your <BR>people rather than being in a special
geographical location.<BR><BR>John R<BR><BR><BR></TT>
