Protoform: TUU-TOKO [TA]

Description:
Reconstruction:	Reconstructs to TA: Tahitic
Notes:	1 Cf. PPN toko, toko-mahuru. 8 Ultimately the Maori form may derive from PAN se(9)guk "hiccough" (Bst.1971) and the Tahitian from PMP teked "prop, support". In the absence of more evidence it is difficult to decide whether they are cognate. Perhaps Tahitian comprises a homonym.
