Loans from modern Eastern Austronesian (Polynesian and Melanesian) into the language are mainly of religious or 'academic' use. In general, such words are terms for objects that are strictly speaking European goods. One exception is the last in the following table, which is commonly used instead of the traditional words "imi" 'spouse's opposite-sex sibling', 'opposite sex sibling's spouse' and "ngaubath" 'spouse's same-sex sibling', 'same-sex sibling's spouse'. These have also similarly been replaced in common usage by the English loan "woman" (pronounced ) in the meaning of 'sister/daughter-in-law'.
