With perhaps a query or two about some of its definitions.<br><br>
e.g. for <i>kumu </i>it gives <br>

potato? wild sweet potato? <br><br>
I haven't heard/seen those translations before.<br>
and why the distinction betwen NG Pidgin English and Tok Pisin?-
presumably its drawing on two (?online) sources.<br><br>
And its pretty non-specific on some other food names.<br>
e.g. for <i>marita </i>it gives<br>
<i><a href="http://www.websters-online-dictionary.org/translation/Tok+Pisin/marita" eudora="autourl">http://www.websters-online-dictionary.org/translation/Tok+Pisin/marita<br><br>

neither of which is from Mihalic(1971 edition, marita not in 1957
edition), or Murphy(1966 edition). Both of which give more specific
information. <br>
