[An-lang] Etymology of Mussau maotake

[John Brownie]

OK, thanks. That's helpful.

Another case is matavanga 'open space, clearing'. The best match I can 
see is actually PWMP, *tawaŋ, but I wonder if that is a plausible 
connection. I'm looking at reflexes of *ma-, which are very restricted 
in my data, but this might be one.
