Word " faaka "

Word:: faaka
Script:: Latin
Etym. family:: *flag
Meaning:: flag

In Ndyuka "flag" is "faaka", according to this on line dictionary, stemming from English "flag".

The compound word "faaka tiki", meaning "flag pole" (litt. and etym. "flag stick"), refers usually to a totem pole, «marking the place where the spirits of the ancestors are appeased». V.t. "faaka" meaning "to haunt" or "to stalk" may stem from this.

This word has also an unrelated homophone, "faaka" meaning "stain" (both v.t. and n.), from English "fleck".
