A couple of comments on the dictionary

spin: I always heard spin with raun or even raun raun as in Kam, yumi go 
spin raun long maket. or Ol i laik spin raun raun tasol.

bekim bek: You may want to add avenge/revenge to your definition for bekim 
bek too. One time talking about a killing that had just occurred in Porgera 
a guy said to me, Yu wet, ol bai bekim bek bihain.

em tasol, Jerry
