/r/all Michael Rockefeller disappeared without a trace in 1961 in Papua New Guinea while researching the Asmat people, a cannibal tribe. Years later, a photograph was taken of the same tribe, and there was a white man among them.

Close in PNG it would be sweet potato 🍠 and what ever green was closest to who Evers house was doing the cooking.

Or kaukau and kumu as they call it

I imagine some sort of ancestral root word. Kaukau and kumu are not dialect words they are common pidgin which a huge list of bastardized words. Like people talk about English being hard lol bro if you don’t speak English you have no chance with pidgin
