Your guess is as good as mine, but when people say "we will give you money if you can translate this" and I can do with a few more pennies, I'm not going to complain....
I've had fun explaining the Tetum terms for pregnancy and giving birth and the Tetum-Terik word for medicine. In quite a few cases I've had to default to Portuguese, with Tetum spelling..
