PPn "*fasu", actually

[Jeff Marck]

I'm working with Per who was just asking about cognates of PPn "*fatu".

Actually, it was PPn *fasu "perogatives of the man's sister's children
towards him and his property, etc.". And now we find there must have been a
Proto Western Chuukic and Proto Nuclear Micronesian *fasu which in the
very Western Carolines means "man's sister's child".

My orthographic error.

Apologies to Per.
