Au zou insan katanud sumuang pias doungosodop mokiuung hampun. I have no personal account of a nocturnal outing in a jungle for durian wake/mokiuung hampun. Nakaandad zou mah hampun id daadatad nouung. "Asapou toomod tuva hampun". I like that sound. Dadi.... I want to recapture nuances of my first language, Kadazan. Nung mokiiuung hampun ko boos Kadazan : Welcome to my blog. Enjoy!
Hi Dandi,
ReplyDeleteNombo ko poingizon? Penampang toi? Anyways, do visit this website Booskadazan.com . It's a website designed by the Kadazan Group in Penampang. It's still new and under construction still. But it still works!

Thanks Lester. I checked out the website. It's good. Perhaps they can expand and improve on it more in time to come. Like giving some examples of word usage in sentences. I found out though that zephyr means ibut toongis. It never figured in my mind before. That was my random check.
DeleteAnyways, Penampang is my roots. Currently, not residing there though.
