Thank you.

In New Ireland Province, people would regard to the needle hole as "i
bilong nil"

I have a question about the extended uses of "ai" and "maus". I've
always
heard
Ai bilong haus (front door)
Ai bilong umben (knot in a net)

Do people anywhere now say "ai bilong nil" for "eye of a needle"? I
usually
hear "maus bilong nil", but wonder if this is changing.
