Description:		The senior male speaker tells the story of a boy who goes to the shore to shoot fish and goes much further than his mother permitted him. He encounters a wild pig which does not kill him but from then on follows him wherever he goes. The boy finally takes his own life to end his curse.
		The goal of this project is the documentation of the three major languages in the Southwest of the pacific island of Ambrym, Vanuatu. The major objectives include the creation of both academic and local dictionaries, grammatical descriptions of the three languages as well as extensive recordings of the languages with an emphasis on language use in connection with specific cultural pracitces such as sand drawings, dances and songs.
		The speaker was RB. The recording was made, transcribed, translated and glossed by von Prince, with the help of JM
		Kilu von Prince has chosen the grammar of Daakaka to be the subject of her dissertation. Her purpose in the DoBeS project "Languages of West Ambrym" is to document and to help preserve the languages Daakaka and Ral kalein by collecting language data, establishing lexical databases and providing local communities with orthographies, dictionaries and printed accounts of traditional stories for use in education.
		The speaker is a chief of a small settlement close to Baiap and a respected elder of his community.
		JM has assisted at most of the transcriptions and translations of the recordings in Daakaka, being a very gifted informant. He has spend part of his education in the country's capital Vila.
