Note

Lichtenberk and Osmond (1998:167) first proposed POc *kojom ‘husking stick’, *kojom-i ‘to husk coconuts’. The figurative extension in Pohnpeian is quite transparent (penis = husking stick, with coconut being actively thrust against it, an image that would not work in the ‘missionary position’).
