 >wel daka: Does anyone know what this might refer to botanically? 
(Example: "Na buai ol i givim ya em ol kavivi [kawiwi] na daka em ol wel 
daka bilong bus ya.")>

**Probably several possible Piper spp. ?

wel kumu: Does anyone know what this might refer to botanically?  Example: 
"Em karim kapul ya i go na long hap rot em kisim sampela wel kumu bilong bus."
** Many  species of wild leaf 'vegetables' eaten, therefore many 
possibilities - see for instance listings in :
Powell, J. M. (1976). Ethnobotany. In: K. Paijmans, Ed.  New Guinea 
vegetation. Canberra, Australian National University Press, pp. 106-183.

wel buai: Is this a different species than buai (Areca catechu) or just a 
non-domesticated variety?  (Example: "Yutupela go long bus na kisim wel 
buai bilong mi na kisim sampela daka na kam.")
**at least Areca macrocalyx,  and possibly others ?

wel kapiak: Does anyone know what this might refer to 
botanically?  (Example: "Bihain long paia i pinis, tewelman ya i tanim 
olsem wel taro na mama wantaim pikinini i tanim kamap wel kapiak.")
** not sure- could refer to simply uncultivated Artocarpus communis, or 
possibly other Artocarpus spp. ?
