Note

Also Iban eŋkudu ‘small trees: Morinda citrifolia L. and others’, Old Javanese wuŋkuḍu ‘a plant the root of which produces a red dye’. In the Philippines and western Indonesia this term evidently was in competition with *ñiñu; these terms may have distinguished Morinda species, but this remains unclear.
