Note

Also Ifugaw dalik ‘trivet for cooking pot’, Chamorro alihan, haliʔan, NESAS (Teeuw 1958:127, 170) jalik, Bimanese riha, Manggarai likaŋ ‘trivet’. Verheijen (1967-70), Verheijen (1977a:36) points out the essential evidence on which this reconstruction rests, though he does not reconstruct a protoform himself. His suggestion that the word originally contained a suffix *-an may have been inspired by Costenoble (1940:61), who proposed a reconstruction *dalik, but without the benefit of supporting data. Mills (1981:69), on the other hand, suggests an etymon "Proto-Indonesian" *likAn ‘hearth’. Until further evidence of morphological complexity is forthcoming, it appears best to reconstruct a trisyllable.
