kin term prefix *pe- in other Vanuatu languages

[Ross Clark]

Not surprisingly, a similar prefix turns up in some closely related Santo
languages: Vara Kiai (Fortsenal) has both ve- and voi-, as in ve-natu-ku `my
daughter', cf. natu-ku `my child/son', voi-tama-m `your father's sister',
cf.
tama-m `your father'. Malo examples I have (given to me by Dorothy Jauncey a
couple of years ago, before she finished the thesis) had vo- rather than wu-
for this prefix, eg vo-tasi- `younger sister'.
