ta through its long series of known
combinations carries a strongly featured sense
of action that is peripheral, centrifugal, and
there seems to be at least a suspicion of the
further connotation that the action is exerted
downward ... The secondary sense of cutting will
easily be seen to be a striking with a
specialized implement, and we find this sense
stated without recognition of the primal
striking sense only in Mangareva, Nukuoro, Viti,
and Malekula. In Indonesia this secondary sense
is predominant, although Malagasy ta may
come somewhat close to the striking idea ...
