Part of Speech	n
Pronunciation	ˈawkol
Borrowed Word	Austronesian borrowing, likely reflecting compound of reflexes of PMP *kahiw 'tree, wood’ (ACD) plus PCMP *koli 'Borassus sundaicus' (Verheijen 1984:47). The initial part of the form is unusual and may indicate the borrowing is from Kisar ‹au› 'tree, wood'. [Verheijen 1984] [Blust and Trussel ongoing]
