appeared naturally graceful and sage in their manner; their dress
consisted of a piece of native cloth round the waist; the men wore the

'maro' or 'malo' also known in Pijin or Bislama? (2) is there other evidence
to attribute it to Pacific Pidgin English as it may have been in 1843? (3)
is the word so common in Austronesian languages that the balance of

independently?</SPAN></FONT></P></DIV>
