[Papuanlanguages] 'Eating water' and Alan Rumsey's 'further twist; 'burn' and 'sleep' are the same in Korafe and Baruga

[Thomas R. Barker]

Jim and Cindi Farr,
Your note leads me to ask you if 'sleep' and 'burn' might be new, i.e., 
modern.  I heard it only once in Barai, not in Barai of Mt. Koirari language,  
but from an Ome/Aomie speaker who was resident in Barai?  Also, what other 
Binandere languages do you know it from?
Cheers
Thomas Barker
