Heh ;-)
FWIW, if I remember correctly, somebody here said that the
Polynesian word for 'fish' is inuk? Now guess what the Ayeri
word is ... 'inun' -- I mangled some words from a Tagalog
wordlist once because I was too lazy, and I don't know
exactly whether the word for 'fish' is among this handful of
words.
