NOTE: Also Lau uruŋa ‘wooden prop for the head, pillow (modern); to prop the head’, Mota iliŋa ‘headrest or pillow; to rest the head’, Kapingamarangi uluŋi ‘pillow; cushion one's head on, lean on’. The similarity of the WMP and OC forms was noted by Milke (1968) who, however, did not comment on the irregular correspondence of the stem-final nasals. Alternatively we could reconstruct WMP *qulun/qulun-an, POc *quluŋa, and treat the two sets as unrelated. Given their detailed agreement in every respect apart from the discrepant nasals this does not appear to be the optimal solution, and is rejected here despite the resulting irregularity. It is possible that both *qulun and *quluŋ-an contain *qulu ‘head’, but if so the morphology remains obscure.
