Also Makassarese pamm-uduk-aŋ, paŋŋ-uduk-aŋ ‘bamboo pipe used to smoke tobacco or opium’. The antiquity of smoking in the Austronesian world is unclear. Tobacco could not have been introduced prior to Portuguese contact in the 16th century, and the smoking of opium probably was introduced by southern Chinese no earlier than the Ming dynasty (1368-1644 A.D.), at which time a loanword for ‘smoking pipe’ (hunsuy, etc.) entered many of the Austronesian languages of Taiwan, the Philippines and western Indonesia. If *qudud was present in PWMP it probably meant ‘to suck’.
