      Nabunuu roho eara a ta Teapu na araaraa nia maa kaku iri teara komana vai - a mataniva, a nasi to rooroto aasun ni raara, ae a saruvee, ei to araara ponpon ni raara bara a vanima.

      In the past we Teop people angled with our own different kinds of hooks - the mataniva, the nasi that we used for catching tuna, and the saruvee that we used for angling the ponpon needlefish, and the vanima (that is used for kite fishing).

      A nasi o kaku iri to kisikisi ni raara tea kanono beara tau nao tea rooroto aasun. Na pakupaku raara bono sinoo kaposi. Na kahu raara ore tara potee bona iri, evehee ahiki kou to keeroo.

      The nasi is a kind of hook that we tie to the string when we go to catch tunas. We make it from the bone of the kaposi (a kind of sea bug). We carve it so that it looks like a hook, but it does not have a stopper.
