Description:	To be rising or high (of the tide)
Reconstruction:	Reconstructs to PN: Polynesian
Notes:	1 Cf. PN suqa.b 8 Note POC ruab `tidal wave' (Mke.1968) and POC ru(s)a(bp) `High tide' (Bst.1970). PPN huqa must have a different history, as an initial palatal seems to be clearly indicated. Possibly convergence between r- initial forms and suqa-a < suRuq. 8 TON na/ua probable borrowing from Fijian (Gty).
