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.
