 To. : uhi, to go, to come. Fu. : ui,

 PS Mgv. : uki, huki, to pierce, to dart, to

 The germ sense of Proto-Samoan huki 

 is to pierce, to stick into, and in the noun 

 implement of such action the digging-stick 

 is primal. In Marquesas the sense of 

 tiller may be a modern simile based upon 

 recognition of form resemblance, for the 

 tiller first became known in foreign boats; 

 the use of the word in the sense of paddle 

 finds some support in the fact that dig as 

 a metaphor for paddling is noted in the 

 Samoan 'eli.
