[Mihalic] some (mainly food-related) terminology

[Eva Lindstrom]

Hello,

> mosang
> wild fig (ficus spp.)
> kumu mosang
> wild fig leaves

Although working only a short distance from Craig,
I hear this word as musong (also not in the online
index), incl in kumu musong, meaning anything
"short-fibred", rough and itchy (musong bilong
mambu, musong bilong solwara [tiny shrimps (?) that
bite], musong bilong paneken [pumpkin]).
