The Semambu dialect varies slightly on different rivers, but 
whereas Dabai, Peluan and Timugun are fairly closely related to 
each other, Semambu is much more distinct: though an untravelled 
Semambu man placed in Keningau could still gather roughly what 
was being said. Some common words are quite different, e.g. 
* quickly? K. keribok, S. kapasiun: angry K. mangit, 8. ambok: 
cloud K. dutoh or gaun, 8. laput or gaun: Indian corn K. budit, 8. 
sangun or dalai: long ago KX. nakalaid, 8. alair or awhoi: pig K. 
Dawih, 8. biag: skin K. kulit, 8. kongkong. 
The final ‘K’ in this vocabulary is nearly mute.
