Description

Mgam Greh gives a short metalinguistic discussion, mostly in Nen but also in English and a bit of Idi, giving examples of words which are pronounced the same in Idi and Nen but have different meanings. (Nicholas Evans' notes: Likely not to be full L1 speaker because grew up in Dimsisi but I couldn't hear obvious differences; needs checking). Goi Dibod comes in on the end of the discussion with another example, extending the range of examples to Nambu as well. This is a short interview made by Nicholas Evans in Dimsisi. The relevant primary notes are in NS2014a:23-27 37.972.
