I just noticed that Marilyn Strathern's <br><br>
<font face="Times New Roman, Times">1975. <i>No Money on Our Skins: Hagen
Migrants in Port Moresby</i>, New Guinea Research Bulletin No. 61. Port
Moresby/Canberra, New Guinea Research Unit, The Australian National
University.<br><br>
has a useful page and a bit of glossary of TP terms based (mainly?) on
Hagener's usage in Port Moresby in the early 1970s
...(pp.451-2)<br><br>
two examples<br>
<i>baim balus</i>: lit. to buy a plane (ticket); cash gifts made to
a departing worker or visitor, incl. money for his fare.<br>
..<br>
<i>fulwok</i>: unremitting labour; heavy task imposed on someone who is
thereby duped or tricked.<br><br>
