[An-lang] object specific eat and drink verbs in Austronesian languages outside of Oceanic

[Naonori Nagaya]

Dear Antoinette,

Tagalog has papák for the same meaning as gado 'eat (something)
without rice' in Jakarta Indonesian. It seems that it was borrowed
from Chinese.

"papák Ch. adj. eaten without rice or bread (referring to viands)"
(English 1986: 999)

National Book Store.
