Incidentally, I thought about my conpeople using tree fibres
(raffia or something) to produce clothing a while ago. So
this is the ideal possiblity to give the tree that is used
for it a name!

mehimitrang (lit. "fibre/hair tree")

>  - concuss, v.
>    shake violently
too difficult (to shake = pridao, though)

That makes 4 new words and 1 second meaning, i.e. 1394
dictionary so far.

Cheers,
Carsten
