Post Scriptum

  1. Since the final edition of this paper in 1991, Dr Bernard Sellato brought to my attention that the Land Dayak word kɔbis ‘to die’ and its variant forms has cognates in many of the languages spoken by Punan people in Borneo.
  2. Also after the final edition of this paper, O.C. Dahl published a book on the Indonesian origins of the Malagasy people (Dahl 1991).
