Some basic info
[edit]Hi. I just thought I'd mention here what I did, so people can add more. I added what I could from a chapter in the book "Valency Changing" (as is cited in the references). The chapter is mostly focused on valency changing, hence the title, but it did include some other information about the language. I put in what I could about other aspects of grammar, and summarized the valency part. If anyone has any more information about the language, or is at the Australian National University, you could really help the page by finding the following dissertation:
Onishi, M. 1994. 'A grammar of Motuna (Bourgainville, Papua New Guinea)'. Unpublished Ph.D dissertation. The Australian National University.

Siwai verses Motuna
[edit]Hi, should the name of the language be changed to Motuna, rather than Siwai. The book I referenced for this page calls it Motuna. Thanks, Joeystanley (talk) 13:31, 3 December 2013 (UTC)
