mataka-mataka
Example from Scripture
Bena ta ta ese ana dagae ana daḡae kwaradia e heabi heheni, edia dare amo ohedia e gwada; bena e keto hebou. Taunabunai, una gabu ladana e hatoa Helkatahasurim; + 2:16 “Helekata-hasurim” anina be “Dare mataka-mataka gabuna”. * gabuna na Gibeon ai.
They each caught his opponent by the head and thrust his sword in his fellow’s side; so they fell down together. Therefore that place in Gibeon was called Helkath Hazzurim. + 2:16 “Helkath Hazzurim” means “field of daggers”. *
