The Manus are expert fishermen who have depended solely on fishing and trading for sustaining their livelihood. Manus lore on marine life, regarding cognitive and behavioral aspects, is ingenious and extensive. The present paper particularly deals with fish names spoken by the Manus fishermen. Approximately 300 vernacular fish names are given, with additional data from neighboring groups of different ecological and linguistic backgrounds. At the generic and specific levels of nomenclature, cognates of fish names are broadly found between the Manus and the other groups. Possible cognates are, except for a few cases, also extended for languages in Halmahera and Micronesia. These cognates suggest a multiple mode of connections of the Manus languages with neighboring areas, in terms of ecological, economic, and historical implications. There is also an urgent need for further comparative study of fish names including such areas as Indonesia, Melanesia and Micronesia.}, pages = {1--29}, title = {Manus Fish Names}, volume = {16}, year = {1991}, yomi = {アキミチ, トモヤ and サキヤマ , オサム} }
