If we read poporo
as popo-ro (with popo = ball), the question then
becomes: What is ro? The meaning of ro is 'drop', which becomes clear when we read that ro-i-nohi = ro-i-mata = tear. 'Tear' equals 'a drop in the eye'.
We are reminded of the'weeping god':
Poporo means - among other things - small droplets. |
