Well bless my soul, so it is. Very strange. Ethnologue has no listing for
"Motillay" (Motlav of Vanuatu is closest in spelling) nor for "Kasiui"
(seems to be a place-name anyhow, in eastern Indonesia acc'g to their map--
but most of the islands in that area speak AN/Moluccan languages.). So it's
remotely possible it's a Papuan language; it sure ain't Austronesian. Though
I suspect it's simply a glitch, or someone having a bit of fun-- I wonder if
the "Bellaba" text turns up anywhere else??
