[Mihalic] useful TP glossary in Marilyn Strathern's "No money.."

[Robin Hide]

I just noticed that Marilyn Strathern's

1975. No Money on Our Skins: Hagen Migrants in Port Moresby, New Guinea 
Research Bulletin No. 61. Port Moresby/Canberra, New Guinea Research Unit, 
The Australian National University.

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)

two examples
baim balus:  lit. to buy a plane (ticket); cash gifts made to a departing 
worker or visitor, incl. money for his fare.
..
fulwok: unremitting labour; heavy task imposed on someone who is thereby 
duped or tricked.
