Ah hah!

Sorry to have slowed down to a snail's pace again. I think or system is now
FTP ready and will try and update the site in the next day.

back to puripuri...

In the Papuan Villager, Dec 16 1929, p1:
 
"All through Papua the people know how to make magic; there are different
kinds of it and many different words. Perhaps the commonest, which most of
you know is the Suan word, puripuri."

Maybe "Suan" refers to Suau (Milne Bay district).
