Volkar,

No, not quite right on 'Mangi'.  Mangi is the correct way it is pronounced
and spelled by many Papua New Guineans including myself.  Haven't heard one
Papua New Guinean pronouncing Manki( as in monkey).

Subject: RE: Exclamations!

bagaros: 1. exclamation (I don't have an example of this.  Can anyone
confirm this usage?) 2. good-for-nothing ("Tasol bagaros nogut i gat
strongpela tingting stret long maritim dispela kum katim meri.") 3. guy
("Tasol bagaros ya i painim wanpela diwai na wokim bet bilong tupela long
drip i go daun long wara.")

[My response is:]
I've heard baga?E as 2 Good-for nothing. But some Highlanders have told me
it can also mean hero?E baga ya i winim ol.?EBut bagaros?Eis new to me.

Donabeta!: Blast!  From the German Donnerwetter (M?Elhausler, 1985b: 203).
"Literally, 'thunder-weather,' thunderstorm, Damn it!, I'll be damned!"
(Slone, 1995: 85)     Tick, but you'd be hard finding it.

[My response is:] I agree. Pretty obsolete, as are all these German-origin
words. But it would be good to keep them in the dictionary with an
appropriate marker, like "old". BTW may I suggest that any usage markers be
in simple English or Tok Pisin, i.e., "old" rather than "obsolete". That
will help grassroots people use the dictionary.

Donakail!: Blast! From the German Donnerkeil (M?Elhausler, 1985b: 203).
"Literally, 'thunderbolt,' Damn it!, I'll be damned!" (Slone, 1995: 85)
Ditto

Dumekerl!: Stupid fool! From the German dummer Kerl, "dumb fellow"
(M?Elhausler, 1985b: 203)  Ditto

Dumkop!: Idiot! From the German Dummkopf, "dumb-head" (M?Elhausler, 1985b:
203)  Ditto, but current I believe in New Ireland/ENB. See Sweinera below.
[My response is:] Not with younger people in New Ireland.

Eh!      How do you spell it?
[My response is:] E! or Ei!

Note 1: New names of numbers (is this restricted to urban Tok Pisin?):
twenti, teti, foti, fifti, sisti (see Note 2), seventi, eiti, nainti
[My response is:] No, pretty common everywhere. I've heard these in villages
in New Ireland and EHP both.
KBS! / Kanaka bikpela samting!: "You should know!", You yokel, it's obvious!
(Smith, 1990: 283)     Transient

[My response is:] What will be done with words like this that are obviously
slang words, either current or pass?E

Laik gutwan!: "You're putting on airs" (Smith, 1990: 282)     Transient?

[My response is:] Current, I think. Or am I showing my age?

Skin dai!: boring, hopeless (Smith, 1990: 283)     ?

[My response is:] Very current.  I hear it a lot.

Stail mangi!: "stylish young person" (Smith, 1990: 2 83)  Tick. However,
although it is common enough I don't go for the "mangi" spelling. What's
most common in Wantok?

[My response is:] Probably manki, but I have yet to see any Papua New
Guinean who spells it that way.

Yupela kaikai as kunai!: Exclamation referring to Highlanders (Strathern,
1975: 278; Strathern, 1990)
Note: Mosel (1980: 31) gives a more specific etymology for kunai as being
from the Tolai Language.     Obsolete, if ever widely heard. As tangket
would make sense, not as kunai except as an allusion.

[My response is:] In New Ireland I usually hear “het ston?Efor Highlanders.

Question: Are "donabeta", "donakai", "dumekerl", "dumkop", "haltmunt"
"papelu", "rintfi", "saise" and "stupit", "yakabor" archaic or are they
localized?     We can't tell without getting some blari PNGeans on board. I
keep emailing people but it's like getting blood out of a stone. THIS IS AN
ALL STATIONS CALL FOR PNGEANS TO GET INVOLVED. However, bear in mind that we
need old fogies not young whipper-snappers for these. (The whipper-snappers
can tell us about the new slang.)

[My response is:] stupit?EI hear a lot (please don't embarrass me by asking
why I happen to hear it so much!) . The other ones are pretty archaic,
I think. I hope will still be included though, with an appropriate note.
