I just started this account that posts a random Proto-Oceanic form every day !! The first post is *panua, which you may recognize from the name of the country of Vanuatu or the Banks island Vanua Lava which means “Big Island”
*panua village Hawaiian: honua 'land, earth' Mota: vanua 'land, island, village, place'
