- *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".
