Also Sangirputadəʔ ‘twisted together; confused’, Mongondowpitag ‘twisting of strands in making rope’, Makassareseam-mutaraʔ ‘turn a crank’, putarr-aŋ ‘handle of a sewing machine or spinning wheel; ice-making machine’, putar-aŋ ‘doorknob’ (< Malay). Kamberaputaru may also be a Malay loan, but this is unlikely for Mongondowputag, ensuring the validity of this comparison, although on rather tenuous grounds, since Standard Malayputar may reflect *puteR.
