 [...] Deborah, I'm a Jarai speaker.

 1) In Jarai, the verb for carrying something on one's head is called đua
/ɗua/ (at least for the Cheo Reo dialect). This verb is not used for
objects such as a hat, scarf, or any thing that we use to protect our head.

 We have so many words with the English meaning "to carry." For instance,
to carry something on the shoulder is glăm; to carry on the back is "gui",
etc.

 2) As far as I know, we do not have "gender exclusive" verb for "to
carry."

  Jarai has a carry on the head verb, right? what about a verb for only
women carrying something?

 I’m working on verbs of carrying in Longgu (Oceanic) and I wondered if
anyone had any data on ‘carry’ verbs in other Austronesian languages (and
especially Western Austronesian languages).



The two things that I’m most interested in are:



1.       Is there a verb for ‘carry on the head’ (and if so, what is it)?

2.       Are there modes of carrying that are (semantically) gender-based?
(i.e. women carry things in one way, men in another).



The verb for ‘carry something on the head’ in Longgu is SUNGI.



Thanks for your help!



Debbie
