Phrase is used usually when there's not enough food to feed everyone present, and thus is said by the one or those who are the possessor(s) of the food that even though we do not have enough food, we share with or because of love. "Kan" is short for the word "Kijen" - meaning "food belonging to;" and "drikdrik" has its root in "drik" - meaning ... See Moresmall or little. I'm familiar with the longer phrase, "Kan drikdrik, kan yokwe." Phrase could also be translated, " meaning - there may not be enough food to feed us to the full, little we share out of love.

Republic of the Marshall Islands "Tutu in kwolej" -- "Pacific Golden Plover bath" Meaning: A quick rinse, perhaps just wetting one's head rather than a full bath or shower--often not even using soap. This is considered bad since it does not really get the person clean and can lead to sickness.

2 guys from Ebeye drifted off Kwajalein island about a month ago, suspecting engine failure, had not been found yet. Boat anchored while several of their friends were spear fishing; was at night. Guys spearing fear below realized later that the boat was gone. They then walked on reef to Kwaj, and informed officials, but evidently the officials did ... See Morenot respond on a timely manner. The boat belonged to Marcella & Mark Sakaio. I asked Marcella a couple of days ago if the boat had been found, which she responded negative.

Anyone? I've always thought we've borrowed the word, as bulu but I could be wrong. Some used to identify the color to epitomize LOJET/METO/MALO..as unokan wot meto. Please share if there is such a Marshallese term for Blue. Brown(monaknak), Green(Maroro), Orange(kio), Gray(Wupajaj) White(mouj), Black(kilmej)...so forth. I've often heard our alaps used "jil' for dark colored.
