Ama, Ambonese

[Jake J Fitisemanu]

I believe the word "ama" in reference to the windward hull or outrigger
is pretty universal in Polynesia--besides Hawaiian, Maori, and Tahitian,
"ama" is also present in the same definition in Samoan, Tongan, Tuvaluan,
Tokelauan, and E. Uvean, at least to my knowledge.
