 The duality in this word may not be 

 regarded as critical of this far eastern 

 migration, for it is found in Nuclear Poly- 

 nesia. The simplest forms are in the Viti 

 makubu and mokubu. The range of vari- 

 ety may thus be listed :

 The sense is in accord. The form differ- 

 ence between Southeast Polynesia and 

 Nuclear Polynesia is a matter of duplica- 

 tion. If the migration left Samoa when 

 mala was the current stem in this sense it 

 would be quite possible for the duplicated 

 forms to acquire such diversity. In fact 

 we note in Southeast Polynesia duplica- 

 tions which are impossible in the present 

 languages of Nuclear Polynesia.

 this as a neologism, the animal being a 

 newcomer to the islands. In Samoa 

 Pratt credits it (mamoe) to Tahiti. The 

 source is obscure.
