Dear all,
On the Tanga Islands people use the tok pisin word "tar" to talk about red
ochre (in all its various uses). Is anyone else familiar with this term?
It's not mentioned in Mihalic. Parkinson notes that on the Gazelle
Peninsula people called red ochre "tar" or "tara", so maybe Tangans are
just sharing this word with their Tolai cousins.
Regards,
Stephanie.
