LSNG14-CR81 - CR81 Zoga Gima

Full description

Coconut site: L2 Nen speaker, who learned it from his mom and also his wife, but speaks very fluently (I couldn't detect anything non-standard). This coconut was planted as a mark commemorating a death and introducing a taboo during the grieving period, payar wirrs yam, which lasted 2 years. Question several people ask: ebe kr bä ym prede, bm oag? (Note: says ämbs pus for number of children; hum in background from Digicel tower nearby). GPS location of coconut tree: 8 61279 S, 141 92156 E. Interviewer: Jimmy Nébni. Video recordist: Grmbo (unfortunately this failed to record). This is recorded during the second visit to Gubam. Recordings for this trip (CR79, CR80, CR81, CR82, II7) include a number of other interviews with Nen speakers in Gubam, either people from Bimadbn who married into the village (2 women, 1 man) or people raied in Gubam who had learned Nen by other means (from mother/wife). . Language as given: Nen
